#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.

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism provides a mean to discover the world and it's many varied cultures. To enjoy beautiful landscapes, discover new experiences and soak up new cultural experiences. Tourism helps to create a world without prejudice. (May, 2020)

CHALLENGES

We have significantly less work, so many employees have been waiting for work at home for almost half a year. (September, 2020)

CONCERNS

Even as we overcome this state of emergency, I do not expect tourism to blossom right away. People will have concerns. Initially It may happen that trips to European capitals suffer a decrease. People will prefer to travel shorter distances by car, and they will primarily seek peace, a pleasant climate and contact with the natural environment. It is good that Slovenia offers plenty of that. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

1) Get connected - even with "enemies" - in your destination. The weakest determines the faith of all players of a destination in a pandemic situation.

2) Get digital - digitalization helps to make tourism resilient.

3) Get human - do not focus on profit, focus on customers.

4) Create experiences instead of money traps. (May, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

In January I co-founded www.tourismdeclares.com, which is working to develop a carbon positive tourism framework - we have been delivberately quiet for these last few weeks, but will be working together to develop sustainable recovery plans.

my 2018 book - 'Transforming Travel - Realising the Potential of Sustainable Tourism' - is available for free download for the next three months. Just click here and download: https://lnkd.in/dvF9Jn5 (April, 2020)
