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):

IDEAS

Take this time to learn, tourism is so important industry and it has countries running only from tourism. Is that what we really want? That is definitely not sustainable way of running a country. Also. Here in Iceland..... tourism companies are lowering their prices, that means FINALLY icelanders can travel in their own country. It was so extreamly expenisve to travel in my own country that I could rather just go to another country and that would have been cheaper. Just think about it. It is crazy that local people can't afford traveling in their own county, right? (April, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Our company has a registered travel business. Tourism is therefore extremely important to us. We cannot survive without tourism, travel and excursions. (August, 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

My biggest concern is the economy. It is difficult to say how the different economies will develop but I think that 2021 or 2022 will still be very much affected by the crisis. So my concerns are about my financial situation and future.

I am also afraid that there might be a second wave and that everything might repeat itself. (June, 2020)

IDEAS

For people who love to travel, the worst case is not to plan. Fot those every travel stops with a new travel plan, even in maybe their domestic area. So it is crucial for tourism companies not to stop comunicating with people outhere and give them hope for best summer, best experience, best day trip, best family time... Don't focus on the ones who will not come, focus on the ones who will come "with a little help of the current situation". (April, 2020)

I CAN OFFER

I do not have any resources at the moment, as I do not see adequate resources in this situation to save tourism. (July, 2020)

I NEED

Organizations that will lobby global governments on behalf of the economy to create a more stable business environment. (July, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

EXPLOITATION

The media partly exploit the situation of the pandemic to get attention and generate sales. However, the media is not aware, or perhaps unfortunately they are - even sadder that this hype in the media - can make the population sick. (October, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

Allow free travel insurance, people are afraid to book because they feel the risk to have their trip cancelled. (April, 2020)
