#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):

TOURISM MEANS

Travelling takes you out of your comfort zone. It makes you see the world differently, not just out of your own little box. It makes you grow as a person. You are never the same after you have experienced the soul of another place and it's locals. And I think that is the magic of travel. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

Tourism will change but we don’t for sure know how and people won’t have enough spare income to afford trips and vacations. This will impact my employees and myself for longer than the pandemic and I am not sure how I can safe my employees positions (May, 2020)

IDEAS

This autumn and winter, the agencies will have to continue to design excursion programs around Slovenia, as the epidemiological picture will probably not improve this year. I doubt people will want to travel to third countries. Considering that the most tourist places are already fully occupied this summer, we have to design trips to lesser-known and undiscovered parts of Slovenia, which will be interesting for the locals. (July, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Assistance with tourist vouchers only to accommodation facility. Travel agencies were largely excluded because hoteliers do not confirm shared reservations. (July, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

We need an organization that will promote international travel. I think people will have a fear of traveling for a long time. (August, 2020)
