#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.

TOURISM MEANS

Tourism became life for me about five years ago. When I started my journey as a tour guide, I gave up a lot. The main guideline was that I like to travel, research and share all the acquired knowledge with guests in Slovenia, Europe and around the world. I think we are slowly growing over the years and adding chapters step by step to our tourism career. (July, 2020)

CHALLENGES

How to become interesting destination for one who is just passing through our valley, what to offer that guest will spend some money for our service, what the guest would like to experience. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

Making a bigger point on tolerance. On accepting that this horrible thing has happened and that there's no going back. Therefore we need to be tolerant of eachother and experts trying to find new ways to bring tourism back to us. (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)
