CHALLENGES

Regarding the idea of perpetuating cleaning and security measures in the food and beverage industry, I put myself in the consumer’s shoes – even if in the past the decision to return to a tourist destination was not directly influenced by this aspect, I believe that in the future cleanliness and security will play a decisive role for the holiday option.

IDEAS

World tourism is facing a crisis resulting from a pandemic. After the end of the pandemic, it will face a financial crisis. In a crisis, we need to look for solutions and develop new ways that will enable travel, events, even though this is very difficult in the situation we find ourselves in at the moment.

I CAN OFFER

During this time, our company is continuing to do a little "catch-up" and behind the scenes work. This includes spicing up our website (and the property's websites) to attract guests for after quarantine and freshening up our restaurants' menus. Corporate employees are also brain-storming special deals and offers for after quarantine as well. (April, 2020)
