TOURISM MEANS

Joie de vivre. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Such as Japanese government, we need to avoid the following “Three Cs”; (https://www.kantei.go.jp/jp/content/000061935.pdf)

C1: Confined spaces (with poor ventilation)

C2: Crowded places (with many people nearby)

C3: Close contact (with people)

I thought the challenge/ essential impact during/ after COVID to tourism/ service industry is the avoidance of “Three Cs” in contact points between service provider and user. That affects facility use restrictions for the former and expectation alteration by going-out restriction throughout my three perspectives in T0. (June, 2020)

CONCERNS

I’m a bit scared that even after the pandemic some people might find socializing, especially with foreigners, a little off putting. So my main concern is not being able to experience the social life of a city in its full glory, when people aren’t afraid of human contact and getting to know travelers. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

There should be a remote way to be able to check guests in and out, maybe develop a software compatible with the hotel OS that allows a remote person to view the customer live and still be a "in person interaction". (April, 2020)

From co-creating new stories, writing them down, connecting the partners, implementing ideas into the practice, organizing activities, discussing with media, public presentations and networking. (March, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Not do much an exploitation as such, but discounting I see amongst hotels in Japan will not save the industry as it causes the Prisoner's Dilemma. Everyone could suffer as a result. (April, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

Maybe finding financial solutions or funds for those who are now in existential crisis. I also think everyone who is working in culture sector or any other art branch is fearful of the future situation. I think we should really support those and find a way to make their lives easier. After all, art is what define us, makes us humans. (April, 2020)
