#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.

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)

I CAN OFFER

I work in the hotel management in a luxury castle. There we can provide our guests the maximum comfort with a 8 ha garden (and we only have 25 rooms/suits) so it is perfect for guests, who want a short break from there everyday life, who wants to relaxe, who wants to enjoy the nature.

So nowadays it is necessary to provide your guests everything they want. That they leave your hotel with a smile. (October, 2020)
