#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.

IDEAS

I don’t really see myself as someone who has enough knowledge to come up with any meaningful solutions, but I do think that we should focus more on local tourist attractions, so maybe they would deserve more promotion in such times. (April, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism has been employing me for 25 years. Given that this is a multiplicative activity that is alive and constantly changing, it also brings new challenges. Work in tourism is in all prespectives related to people. Tourist workers are also the best promoters of tourist destinations. (August, 2020)

CHALLENGES

Personally I’m not really affected by COVID-19 when it comes to traveling. Of course I would love to go somewhere rather than just different places in Austria but that is just not happening this year and that’s fine for me. (December, 2020)

CONCERNS

The main concern I have is, that when this all will be over, that people will just get crazy and want to visit the whole world and be greedy. (April, 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 CAN OFFER

With my studies, I can help to improvise plans and help with getting the wheels rolling again after this all stops. Hopefully someone will hire me so I can help. (April, 2020)

I NEED

Some resources I may need are contacts and a good platform to build upon if I wanted to put my ideas to practice. I don't know if a preexisting site would be best or something new, so I would need guidance from a lot of people! (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Offering alternative future dates later this year and then next year instead of automatically accepting a cancellation. (May, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Not do much an exploitation as such, but discounting I see amongst hotels in Japan will not save the industry as it causes the Prisoner's Dilemma. Everyone could suffer as a result. (April, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

I am really curios about how the Covid-19 pandemic will change our world and our society. I think we can learn a lot of things from the crisis and reorient new. But I am also concerned about how the world will change and which developments are going to happen in the future. I hope people think careful and learn from the crisis. (June, 2020)
