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 for me means to travel and see new places in the first place. Whether I’m only visiting a nice village or a city in Austria for a couple of days or take a trip around the world for a longer time, tourism is a way to explore. The other big part of tourism is to get to know new people, new cultures and explore different styles of living. Since I myself am a huge fan of travelling and experience as much as possible, tourism is a key thing in my life and hopefully will never get lost in those times. (October, 2020)

TOURISM MEANS

For me, tourism is the most important thing in life. Without tourism, my family would not have work in our valley and probably they had to move to a bigger city to find new work. Tourism guarantees us a high standard of living in the most beautiful places on Earth. (June, 2020)

CHALLENGES

I had my current job offer that I accepted back in November become revoked. This leads me to the challenge that not many hospitality companies are hiring right now and that leads me without a job after graduating. (April, 2020)

IDEAS

World tourism is facing a crisis resulting from a pandemic. After the end of the pandemic, it will face a financial crisis. In a crisis, we need to look for solutions and develop new ways that will enable travel, events, even though this is very difficult in the situation we find ourselves in at the moment.
