#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

Country should provide more support for all tourism related companies in this times.

Tourism should open only when the science could confirm we are ready till that time support for tourism industry from countrys - in this time I think it is more important to wait and not to make long time damage if we open tourism too soon. (April, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism is an economic activity essentially related with destinations within countries, regions, etc. If managed in a positive way it can have a good impact in local and national economy. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Being a senior in college, the most common challenges I see during this time are students having a lot of trouble in the job search, and are also having difficulties adhering to social distancing orders and wanting to hangout with college friends in small groups. This may seem harmless but can cause huge unintended consequences with spreading the virus. I am also challenged by what my future is going to look like with a lockdown order extending past my original job start date as well as my lease move in date. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

The future is uncertain, so it is very hard to make business decisions at the moment. Cash flow is the immediate concern. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

The hospitality & tourism industry should work closely with environmental protection industries - Human beings are the true 'virus' in the world. In fact, mother nature does not need humans and she can choose anyways she wants to eradicate this species called “human". It's human's own wishful thinking of protecting the Earth only because humans cannot live without nature. (April, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

I think it is insane that you have to pay over €90 to get tested for COVID 19. There are a lot of people who cannot afford it especially when they were put on "Kurzarbeit" or lost their job. I think everyone should be able to get tested for free. (June, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

We need to raise more awareness about the 'Anthropocene' and the need to move to a form of ecological tourism. (July, 2020)
