#TourismFromZero initiative

Latest news:

The 2020 pandemic and previous years’ overtourism issues showed us both the benefits, the relevance, and the limits of the tourism, hospitality and leisure industries for society. We cannot foresee the future, but we can listen to challenges and start developing solutions. 

So far we have received more than 900 responses in which these questions have been discussed::

  1. How should we IMAGINE tourism now that we have an opportunity to reset the way we do business?
  2. Which CHANGES would you like to see? If any?
  3. What are your CHALLENGES and CONCERNS?
  4. What are your IDEAS and SOLUTIONS to make it through the pandemic AND into a sustainable and innovative future of tourism?

In the name of the global tourism family, many thanks to every single one of you for the inspiring feedback. Your replies are summarized in the sections below.

Don't forget to share YOUR insights (for the first time or again, with new observations):

  

The 10 quotes below are updated every few minutes and elephant word-clouds are recalculated regularly based on your new survey entries. You have to refresh the page or revisit us every so often to see the changed content.

CHALLENGES

There are changing travel conditions and challenging times if you want to travel. But there are also cuttings in your personal life, like the university life. I haven't seen my colleagues from university since February. The learning from home is challenging because no one could tell you how you should do it, its new for everyone. At work, we had short-time work for about half a year, and we still don't know what happens next. (October, 2020)

CHALLENGES

I'm really struggling with finding the fine line between containing the pandemic and holding down my upcoming wanderlust. But at this point of 2020, for me its more important to watch after the health then traveling around to satisfy my wishes. Because for me family always comes first and I couldn't deal with the fact that I'm the one that spread Covid-19. (October, 2020)

IDEAS

This autumn and winter, the agencies will have to continue to design excursion programs around Slovenia, as the epidemiological picture will probably not improve this year. I doubt people will want to travel to third countries. Considering that the most tourist places are already fully occupied this summer, we have to design trips to lesser-known and undiscovered parts of Slovenia, which will be interesting for the locals.
