#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):

CONCERNS

Concerning is the lack of information and the pure stupidity of many people. All the critics and people who believe in absurd conspiracy theories are absolutely morons. I cannot even believe how ignorant, selfish and careless people are. Im not saying being careful and not believing everything is stupid, no asking questions and criticizing rules is very important. But having just a little bit of common sense is absolutely necessary. I see a it as a clear failure in our education system and im scared that these people are the generation of tomorrow. In school nobody is interested in the subjects the are taught because :" I don't need biology and physics. I will work somewhere else." Then suddenly 5G causes Covid-19 and Bill Gates poisons everyone with his vaccine wich contains little robots to control everybody. Thats just straight up stupid and nonsense. Also I fear that after the pandemic is over everybody will not have changed a bit and just continue on the same as before. (September, 2020)

CONCERNS

At first, of course, I was worried about my health. Nobody knew what was going to happen and therefore they had respect for this pandemic and I hoped that nobody from my circle of friends and family would get infected. But then I heard from friends who were infected that it was not bad for them at all and the flu was often stronger. From then on I was more worried about the economy and how to get out of this lockdown as debt-free as possible (June, 2020)

IDEAS

Finding unknown path and parts of solitude, detoxing etc. has been an emerging trend for the last couple of years and I do believe this is a way we could be able to deal with current situation. Slovenia still has lots of unpopulated and secluded areas that could be a great resource to start working on secluded and off the grid holiday packages that are more connected with local experiences and general well being. I believe back to nature should be one of our primary focus during the upcoming tourism season and creating a bond between lesser people that includes spiritual, sport, culture and creative ways of spending time outdoors. We always considered outdoors as being only a spiritual and sports related free time activities, but culture should start being one of the vocal points that should be included in this spectrum now.

I CAN OFFER

Resources that each of us can contribute is humanity. It is important that even in such difficult times as these, no one forgets about the other. And because I am still quite young and fit, I can try to help others who are not doing so well as much as possible with all the possibilities I have. (December, 2020)

I NEED

Until people start traveling again, we need financial support from the state or the European Union so that the company does not go bankrupt. (September, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Social media influencers using it for attention; politicians making speeches to further their own agendas and blame various other parties instead of taking responsibility. Others whom are price gouging, being rude and inconsiderate, unfortunately this list goes on and on and on. (March, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

Strategy for opening: personalize your offer. Think about how people will travel and plan how to highlight your strengths. Who will be your buyer? Prepare new experiences for individuals or really small groups involving the locals. (April, 2020)
