#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):

TOURISM MEANS

Crowd place. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

I love my home country Austria and all the peculiarities, but I also miss going abroad and have some time to relax far away from the everyday stress. But the biggest challenge is to stay calm and sit in the home office and there is nothing you can do against the virus. But all after all that's only complaining on a high comfort level. I should be happy that all of my family members are healthy and nobody lost the job or anything like that. (December, 2020)

That people will be afraid to travel again. (May, 2020)

IDEAS

Since tourism is going to start from zero, we should make it sustainable, friendly to environment and to people, because right now is the chance to do that. When all this ends, instead of going to our old ways, to polluting the environment every day more and more, we should really take a look at ourselves and at the world. And make a change.

OTHER / SPOTTED

Strategy for opening: personalize your offer. Think about how people will travel and plan how to highlight your strengths. Who will be your buyer? Prepare new experiences for individuals or really small groups involving the locals. (April, 2020)
