#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):

CHALLENGES

I had to find a concept to be able to follow my job as a mountainbike guide and a tennis teacher. I had to split the customers into smaller groups and because of that I made 1/4 more hours than last year by the same salary. (October, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

I think tourism is an important part of my life. I like to travel and explore new countries and cultures. Not everybody has the money and time to travel and that is the reason why I am pleased to be able to travel and be a tourist. (June, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Due to limitations resulting from the spread of the coronavirus, we made only two trips this year. We had to postpone other trips to next year. Part of the employees are still at home waiting for work. (August, 2020)

I NEED

Advocacy and research to examine the extend to which local operators are good for local economies and data mining to determine the degree of public funding going to non-local businesses and myriad of funding eligibility rules across the circumpolar world. Perhaps our jurisdiction could learn from others. (April, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

I am really curios about how the Covid-19 pandemic will change our world and our society. I think we can learn a lot of things from the crisis and reorient new. But I am also concerned about how the world will change and which developments are going to happen in the future. I hope people think careful and learn from the crisis. (June, 2020)
