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)

CONCERNS

With the current situation, concerns certainly come. I am most concerned about how the tourism industry will recover from the current situation, as COVID-19 has hit the tourism sector the hardest. As a tourism student, I am worried about getting a job during and after my studies. I am also concerned that tourism companies will not allow students to gain corporate experience. At the same time, I am concerned about the direction in which tourism will develop. Whether we will be able to decrease the negative effects of tourism after the epidemic and also if we can develop tourism into a responsible industry. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

Tourism flows should be reorganized within the accommodation infrastructure. A new infrastructure with external access for each room could be (re)built. The idea is not new, but from my point of view this kind of hotel was not sought in its true value, which is obvious after the pandemic: less risk of catching a virus. (July, 2020)
