TOURISM MEANS

At its best, tourism is the chance to connect with people and nature and to focus on a life not defined by productivity. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Being a senior in college, the most common challenges I see during this time are students having a lot of trouble in the job search, and are also having difficulties adhering to social distancing orders and wanting to hangout with college friends in small groups. This may seem harmless but can cause huge unintended consequences with spreading the virus. I am also challenged by what my future is going to look like with a lockdown order extending past my original job start date as well as my lease move in date. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

Make a tourism that works on imagination ... when there was no crisis people went out and eat and drank coffe. Let restauratns and bars make a fundation where people can donate money to local restaurans or bars just like if they will go for a coffee in the afternoon. (April, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Not do much an exploitation as such, but discounting I see amongst hotels in Japan will not save the industry as it causes the Prisoner's Dilemma. Everyone could suffer as a result. (April, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

Prepare for the opening: prepare a protocol. How will you welcome your guests tomorrow; which standards will you have to follow to guarantee safety; how will you adapt to the »new reality«; where will you put the hand disinfection gel? These are some questions to answer to make feel the guest secure and safety at your place. (April, 2020)
