#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):

Enjoying unforgettable time away from home, relax and forget everyday life for a few moments, days or weeks. Spending time in another region where I support the local industry and economy with my expenditures I take there. (October, 2020)

CHALLENGES

It will be hard to open our own tourism businesses, which action will we have to take, and how long will it take, to have those opportunities back as were presented to us, before the crisis. (April, 2020)

I NEED

For tourist right now there is only the option to dream of future trips and looking back at past ones. Many destinations around the world already offer digital content to facilitate this. In the future it will be important to receive information about the immunity of the population and I am sure that less crowded destinations will be more popular in the short run. (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Creating new programs and business solutions for small owners that need an extra boost. Sort of a platform for revitalization, shift, changing mind patterns of business owners and transforming them into new stories adapting the situations. (March, 2020)

Assistance with tourist vouchers only to accommodation facility. Travel agencies were largely excluded because hoteliers do not confirm shared reservations. (July, 2020)
