#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

I believe tourist destinations should do their best to create virtual (hopefully paid) experiences of what their destination is all about, filmed in both VR and normal video. This could allow people at home to get a taste of actually visiting the tourist destination such as Disneyland, Cozumel, or Yosemite. Providing a tour would also hopefully incentivize people to visit the destination once this all blows over. (April, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism means a lot to me, as it's a way of learning about a new culture, seeing a destination and also a way of introducing our destinations and culture to tourists visiting. (April, 2020)

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.

New safety standards will need to be developed to protect tourists and travel workers on their travels. A new way of traveling is definitely waiting for us in the future. (August, 2020)
