#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.

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism for me means travelling to foreign or well-know places, where I can relax and unwind to forget the everyday life. (October, 2020)

CHALLENGES

We face travel cancellations and almost zero demand, instability, fear in people. Every day there are new security measures and changes that affect the decisions of potential passengers. (August, 2020)

CONCERNS

To get a job (because I work in the gastro and all big events are cancelled), everyday concerns for the welfare of the family, terrors of a second wave, probably no vacation outside Europe possible this summer, how long does it take to get everything back to normal. (June, 2020)

IDEAS

Make a tourism that works on imagination ... when there was no crisis people went out and eat and drank coffe. Let restauratns and bars make a fundation where people can donate money to local restaurans or bars just like if they will go for a coffee in the afternoon. (April, 2020)

I NEED

I need resources that could help provide guidance for a graduating senior on how to best position themselves in finding a job in an economy going through a recession right now. (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Rather than always relying on trustful recources and trying to keep cool in such times I don’t have more solutions to offer. Life is always a tough place and I admire all the people who still try their best in those times. I think everyone of us should try to make the best of their lifes whether circumstances are good or bad. Only this way, we can move forward. (October, 2020)
