TOURISM MEANS

For me tourism is about: exploring new cultures and places; Learning to see the world through new perspectives; getting away from it all; life-long memories; meeting new people; relaxing, speaking other languages, happy times with family and friends. (May, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism means that people from other countrys, or this country or even locals are exploring things they usually don´t do in their every-day-life. And for me and my company tourism means everything, if we dont get any guests we can´t run our business. We don´t have any other leg to stand on, tourism is everything. (April, 2020)

Tourism will change but we don’t for sure know how and people won’t have enough spare income to afford trips and vacations. This will impact my employees and myself for longer than the pandemic and I am not sure how I can safe my employees positions (May, 2020)
