#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.

CONCERNS

I am a bit concerned about the aviation industry. I believe there is a chance that low cost airlines, where people are sitting close to each other, will suffer some issues. The low price might not be that strong of a factor in the decision of purchasing an airline ticket anymore. (April, 2020)

Leisure time and learning from new places and people. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Declining demand, late bookings. Before the virus, we made reservations a few months earlier, but today customers book a holiday just before departure, so it is always difficult to fulfill all customers' wishes. (July, 2020)

CONCERNS

The Austrian economy cannot cope with another lockdown, and tourism in particular. If winter tourism fails to appear, many hotels will not survive. Travel abroad is associated with risks because of Covid-19. (June, 2020)

IDEAS

Higher prices for highly popular or mass tourism destinations. Mandatory carbon dioxide compensation of each flight ‘seat’. Merge tourism and education/development aid more or even make sure tourism companies invest in the education of local communities, so that these people become more independent and maybe even run businesses themselves. Make them less dependent of tourism. And please, lower prices for train tickets, worldwide TAX for flight tickets and increase flight prices. (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Everyone can show everyone that renunciation is possible and necessary in this situation. Meanwhile, you can put your money into small businesses to keep the economy running, even if it is only for one take away dinner. (April, 2020)
