#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.

The chance to give goods a ninth value. Maybe this is our chance to redefine pricing and for example make flights more expensive, trains cheaper, services more valuable to make the job more attractive, travel as a luxury again and not as a matter of course. (April, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

I would suggest that at the end of this current crisis, as many organizations come together and try to help one another. Maybe one at that moment has more financial resources, the other more employees and thus support each other, because that is the only way for the states, organizations ... to recover. (March, 2020)
