#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.

CHALLENGES

We have significantly less work, so many employees have been waiting for work at home for almost half a year. (September, 2020)

CONCERNS

I am concerned for the employees at each of the properties because being furlough I imagine is very difficult. I also am concerned for my boss, I do not want him to lose any of the properties because this is not something he can control. I am also concerned for the company as a whole because they are making little money.

In the eyes of the company, I am concerned the employees will not come back after the properties are allowed to reopen, that leaves a lot of hiring and HR work for our company (mainly my boss). I am also concerned to lose a lot of the suppliers we have for each property. (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

EXPLOITATION

Travel companies not allowing for partial or full refunds. It is not as if people wanted to cancel their travel and we cannot deter people from traveling in the future by souring their present experiences. (March, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED
