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.

  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?

TOURISM MEANS

For me, tourism means coming out of your comfort zone seeing new things and places and experiencing new adventures. (October, 2020)

CHALLENGES

It will be hard to open our own tourism businesses, which action will we have to take, and how long will it take, to have those opportunities back as were presented to us, before the crisis. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

I am not worried because I find that if you are disciplined and positive everything will be fine. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

In my opinion there should be a possibility during quarantine that you are allowed to spend quarantine in other places - for example rent out an apartment with a terace or garden and stay there for the next month (min. stay atleast 2 weeks) - you are only allowed to stay on your premises and shop for neccesities. That way there still won't be any overcrowded places.

Doing this would help the tourism industry to atleast "stay above water" financially and offer tourists to change their surroundings from time to time. (April, 2020)

I CAN OFFER

I can speak about my experiences in tennis coaching and mountainbike guiding while the crisis. All the points you have to note before starting the training and how you have to handle the customers. (October, 2020)

I NEED

Another problem I see in this time is, that students are overwhelmed with work from home, which mainly consists of googling topics on the internet and describe them as i think does not fully take advantage of knowledge and ideas of students at all. (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Regarding the tourism in Austria I think the best thing we can do as locals is to support the Austrian economic system. This starts with buying local products, spending "holiday" in Austria, visiting smaller restaurants or supporting smaller companies that fight to survive. (October, 2020)
