#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):

TOURISM MEANS

A chance to learn about new things, meet new people, see different way of living and find a new part of yourself. (May, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Deciding which hotel is clean and COVID-19 free is a big decision when deciding where to stay for work during this outbreak. Numerous employers still need their employees to travel for their job, while it may not have to be through airlines, traveling involves the need to stay somewhere for a short period of time. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

Hotel and hospitality businesses do not have the cash flow to continue before the pandemic is over. I expect many to go out of business. This is terrible for existing stakeholders and may potentially be opportunity for newcomers. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

Certainly all tourism stakeholders can use this time spent at home to work. Tourism, as a labor-intensive industry, does not allow us during the peak season to do all the work we might want. E.g. Check your own website (spelling errors, speed, analytics, SEO, functionality, ease of use, customization for phones,…) (April, 2020)

I CAN OFFER

I do not have any resources at the moment, as I do not see adequate resources in this situation to save tourism. (July, 2020)

Tourism employee

Slovenia

I NEED

Open borders for travel. Accurate and up-to-date information on new epicenters of infections. (August, 2020)

Tourism employee

SOLUTIONS

Protect the resource at all costs. If communities and the attraction (I'm thinking here wildlife) isn't benefiting then it's time to re-consider new options. (April, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

Strategy for opening: personalize your offer. Think about how people will travel and plan how to highlight your strengths. Who will be your buyer? Prepare new experiences for individuals or really small groups involving the locals. (April, 2020)
