#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

We are currently reorganizing our work, as there are currently fewer employees in the agency. We are also developing new excursions that would attract the domestic market. (September, 2020)

CONCERNS

We are worried that people will be scared for a long time and will not travel because they will be afraid of infection or possible quarantine after returning from the trip. I'm afraid of losing my job. (August, 2020)

After crisis I want to invest more in local tourism, Slovenian tourism and help our people as much as I can. I will still go and visit destinations out of the country but I will for a change also go somewhere in Slovenia that I have never been yet. #supportlocal (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

For the individual properties, it came down to providing refunds and vouchers for another stay to guests who had already booked for the next few months, as we know they won't be allowed to come stay due to state laws. As a company, we want to keep our employees safe and healthy as well, so telling the ones who can work to work from home. Keeping honest and open communication between the higher-ups and the employees about the status of the company, their working timeline, and honestly anything they have questions and concerns about.

EXPLOITATION

Tourist vouchers should also be redeemable in travel agencies, restaurants, museums and national parks. Now some providers are earning a lot, while others are in red numbers.. (August, 2020)
