#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

CHALLENGES

Interacting with guests and other employees without social distancing efforts in place due to it being a workplace. It is physically impossible to check a guest in with being six feet away from them. Also, housekeepers need their list updated and need to be handed lists and other items. Common items like hand sanitizer seem to always go "missing" when placed into the lobby. Guests always steal the hand sanitizer bottles within the lobby, which is another major challenge we face with the shortage. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

In March, the world stopped. After five months, we must not allow this to happen again. We need to learn to live with the virus. In the first wave, hospitals feared they would run out of beds - Why not turn a hotel that is not in an interesting tourist location and currently does not receive guests into a quarantine area for people infected with the covid virus?
