#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.

CONCERNS

Even as we overcome this state of emergency, I do not expect tourism to blossom right away. People will have concerns. Initially It may happen that trips to European capitals suffer a decrease. People will prefer to travel shorter distances by car, and they will primarily seek peace, a pleasant climate and contact with the natural environment. It is good that Slovenia offers plenty of that. (April, 2020)

Summer houses, glamping and cabins nearby are booming. I think that's a good solution for now. (May, 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 rethink and build a more sustainable and transparent system. (June, 2020)
