TOURISM MEANS

For me tourism means exploring new countries and places. Personally I don't refer to myself as a tourist when im going to other places. I would say im more like a visitor. I feel like being a tourist has some kind of a bad stigma. I know how it feels if you see more tourists in your city than locals. Thats why I try to not to behave as a tourist when im on vacation. Tourism also plays a big role in the creation and conservation of jobs. So in some way it also feels like a secure and steady income source for a lot of people. (September, 2020)

I CAN OFFER

Before taking a trip, I will check every detail of the local conditions from the Qiongyou App to decide where , how and when I will go to enjoy my journey. From that web, lots of uploaders shared their experience of their trip,which was including the bitter or sweet memories. Lots of members in Qiongyou App was built a net trip community which is attracting lots of people to follow their footprits. (April, 2020)

I NEED

I need a good and competent team, a team that is reliable. I would like to be mutely involved in the creative work process of sustainable tourism and be heard there. Even though I am still very young for this. I think it is important that people of different ages and backgrounds work together. Through this diversity we will find the best solutions.

OTHER / SPOTTED

I am really curios about how the Covid-19 pandemic will change our world and our society. I think we can learn a lot of things from the crisis and reorient new. But I am also concerned about how the world will change and which developments are going to happen in the future. I hope people think careful and learn from the crisis. (June, 2020)
