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

For me as a person who travels a lot, it feels like I’m missing a part of freedom. Also, I am doing a lot of sports and it is not very motivating, if it’s unsure if the event in some other country will take place, and if yes, if I can travel their without going in quarantine or without any travel restrictions.

IDEAS

Tourism flows should be reorganized within the accommodation infrastructure. A new infrastructure with external access for each room could be (re)built. The idea is not new, but from my point of view this kind of hotel was not sought in its true value, which is obvious after the pandemic: less risk of catching a virus. (July, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Regarding the tourism in Austria I think the best thing we can do as locals is to support the Austrian economic system. This starts with buying local products, spending "holiday" in Austria, visiting smaller restaurants or supporting smaller companies that fight to survive. (October, 2020)
