#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.

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism means a lot to me. I have been employed from the very beginning since the establishment of the company that deals with passenger transport and travel organization. I really like to organize trips and excursions for groups. (August, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

The thing I love the most about travelling is how it changes your perspective on life. Every place, every person and every experience changes you a little bit and affects the way you look at yourself and at others. It is probably one of the best and most effective ways to learn more about yourself and where you come from. (June, 2020)

CHALLENGES

A complete stop of all the work iniciatives we have been discussing with private tourism companies regarding their events, new business ventures or just plain marketing activities. (March, 2020)

CONCERNS

The recovery from coronavirus will see those who are not committed to sustainability say we have to postpone such concerns and focus on growth.

Those who are committed to sustainability risk believing too greatly that 'this is our moment', and not challenging our own assumptions enough. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

Hotels should offer COVID-19 packages for an additional fee that includes small packages of disinfectant wipes, small hand sanitizer bottles, and even alcohol wipes. This may create additional revenue and help guests reassure their safety. (April, 2020)

I NEED

Some resources I may need are contacts and a good platform to build upon if I wanted to put my ideas to practice. I don't know if a preexisting site would be best or something new, so I would need guidance from a lot of people! (April, 2020)
