#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.

CONCERNS

My concern is that a lot of tourism employees will be left out and forgotten for some time. But on the other hand, my concern is that after quarantine people will rush to all places possible and again fill all the carrying capacities of destinations. (April, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Being a senior in college, the most common challenges I see during this time are students having a lot of trouble in the job search, and are also having difficulties adhering to social distancing orders and wanting to hangout with college friends in small groups. This may seem harmless but can cause huge unintended consequences with spreading the virus. I am also challenged by what my future is going to look like with a lockdown order extending past my original job start date as well as my lease move in date. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

Common items like the hotel TV remote are one of the dirtiest items within the guest room. Light switches, lamps, nightstands sometimes don't get as much detail as needed. (April, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

I really like the idea. But I am afraid the world is too greedy to make any honest changes in any other direction than making money/profit. (May, 2020)
