Thank you for the great conference aimed at important questions at such a critical time for the tourism industry with excellent speakers.

Informative session.. Glad to listen eminent speakers. Thank you!

Thank you all for a very informative programme. Greetings also to Taleb Rifai.

Thank you! We wait everybody in Greece.

…AI and RPA releasing staff and resources to refocus on more customer service and upsales etc

wonderful program. very very insightful and useful. Thank your very much ITCI and WTM and all the suporting agencies

Thank you organisers and panelists and good to meet folks in chat. Let’s talk. Do stuff.

The presentation slides from both Margaux and Ben provide me with much needed ammunitions to fight this COVID-19 global war. Thank you!

@Colin Bidewell => We need to take advantage of COVID-19 crisis to reshape the education for the young generation to achieve what you just proposed. “An effective medium through which to connect innovation donor with innovation recipient. At scale.” Without which, AI will lead to JOB LOSS and NOT [new Job categories as I see it.]

@Susanna Saari => Indeed. In our proposal. We look at Europe as a whole. Geographical advantages of different EU countries, not as individual but as a whole, is key resource to fight and end COVID-19 together.
 

@Jim SEOW absolutly, but need more efficient and effective medium through which to connect innovation donor with innovation recipient. At scale. This for me is a gap.

We need a global concerted coordinated effort. I spend close to my entire career to deliver the best of both West and East cultures & preventive health as new business models. This will address the unmet business opportunity gaps made transparent by COVID-19 crisis. The aim is always to bring diverse talents from both worlds to work together. Together we are strong. Together not possible becomes possible!!!!

The destinations in the Nordic countries will hopefully be among the winners! Try Finland: Loads of clean air, plenty of room, almost no queuing anywhere, nature based activities, lakes with water to drink directly from, sauna to warm you up – and the happiest people (LOL). I agree with @christopher, hotels in Costa del… will take a long time to recover. We really will see a change and this will be a long recovery for many.
 

Is it possible to get the contents of the presenters and panelists for our reference?

@Colin Bidewell => I accept my limited experience in your area. My plan is to create new job categories, bring people back to work, new scalable investment opportunities as incentives to drive commitments from public and investment from private sectors.  I hope this combination will work. Only time will tell 🙂

@Hassan Zakari, thanks, lets keep in touch on LinkedIn.

@Christopher Rodrigues => nicely put. We need cross Ministries effort to jumpstart tourism, not just limited to the Minister of Tourism.   I wrote 1 hour ago ==>   The untested ideas we plan to embark is to work with multiple ministries of each country. Safe Tourism jumpstart is a complex challenge and should not be just left to one ministry (Ministry of Tourism). We anticipate that if Ministries of health, finance, education and tourism work together, we will have more chance to come out with resilient business models that will lead to more coordination between different countries. The key… Read more »

BEN LOCK: EXCELLENT FIGURES, WHER SHALL WE GET THEM?

Thank you very much Margaux. Please can we have the slides posted for download? It will be nice to go over it in detail and more relaxed. Kindly assist!

I’m in ET Time Zone (USA) and I lost part of your interesting webinar.
Is the recording available?
Thanks in advance. Valentina

Jim SEOW  4 minutes ago Sustainable Tourism is key to saving humanity through climate change impact and future waves of pandemics WHEN WE ALL WORK TOGETHER !!!!!!!   Yes….ideally regulated financial services products supporting industries would be “sustainable” in line with Ch3(B)(1)(c)Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and international equivalents. However in our experience, we have not found this to be the case and incompatible when looking at UV/skincancer treatment cost avoidance and SDG3 (plus SDGs 10, 12, 16+)….result being that we lag invention adoption for multiple SDGs and the taxpayer ends up picking up the tab as a consequence…as… Read more »

How it is social sustainability

@Klaus Lengefeld Please kindly share the link to the Bali Indonesia study. Great work! I assume by giz?

Concerning the climate impact of flights, it has to be compared with the climate impact of alternative livelihoods of those who would lose their jobs if we stop flying to their countries. As agriculture including deforestation ist for many countries one of the rare alternatives for ex-tourism employees, this would create much more climate damage than flying. We did a first pilot study on Bali, Indonesia which confirmed this problem

@Gerald Lawless. Thanks for your focus on environmental and social sustainability. You remember our study on Jumeirah Hotels Dubai from 10ys ago which showed the huge cross-border poverty-reducing impact of your hotels in the home countries of your employees.

@Ambassador Dho Young-Shim This is Klaus Lengefeld from Frankfurt Germany. Would like to know how Korea is opening up again for tourism and from which countries. And lets keep contact for Tourism recovery

Typo error: @Joanna Wivell => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spf_D7EMMs0 This EUvsVirus SAFE tourism concepts advocate ONLY testing ONCE at origin airport. No testing at destination country throughout the journey social/physical distancing with the destination general public ( Very critical to contain Virus mutation) => sorry for typo. Separating the general public and incoming international tourists [including immediate contact tracing] ( is KEY To SAFE tourism and preventing COVID-19 to last multi-years as Spanish Pandemics. Within EU, it is likely we have the same strain and the current traveling bubbles are most likely OK.

@JimSEOW thanks will check this out. Would like to connect on Linked, please connect as can also see multiple profiles. Thanks.

@Jim SEOW I don’t think we’re yet connected on LinkedIn..I see multiple un-connnected profiles with same name though…send invitation to me instead ?

Taleb> How could this world organisation influence more, with its excellent speakers n members. It seems millions agree with our goals, but they have to let us ACT, not only speak?

Sustainable Tourism is key to saving humanity through climate change impact and future waves of pandemics WHEN WE ALL WORK TOGETHER !!!!!!!

@Joanna Wivell => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spf_D7EMMs0 This EUvsVirus SAFE tourism concepts advocate ONLY testing ONCE at origin airport. No testing at destination country throughout the journey and without social/physical distancing with the destination general public ( Very critical to contain Virus mutation)

has Alain fallen asleep?

@Peter Tarlow => Right on the point. We can not PUT all eggs on ONE basket. Each virus mutation may potentially nullify all effort on Vaccine and WE ARE BACK to Mid Jan 2020 again. Further disruption of business continuity and further stretching the ability of governments to keep supporting collapsing industries.   Our “First generation” 3 Safe Tourism concepts advocate safe tourism without social/physical distancing independent of vaccine.   Our “Second generation” Safe Tourism concepts will AGAIN advocate safe tourism without social/physical distancing independent of vaccine BUT make more use of AI, IoT and Smart city concepts.   When… Read more »

Surely we also need to test again when the visitor is leaving the destination country and upon re-entry into the country of origin to close the circle if testing it to be the key solution?

To the panellists. The key point is that we must keep UP-TO-Date with the latest COVID-19 science, especially the need to advance our R&D on preventive asymptomatic transmission in addition to Vaccine R&D.
 
Currently the term asymptomatic transmission is taboo and very few is willing or knowledgeable to discuss.
 
We need to address THIS ROOT Cause for the challenge of tourism jumpstart, which is asymptomatic transmission.

@Klaus Lengefeld I sent you a connection request on LinkedIn In

@Jim Seow it is very important to keep travel safe and getting a solution for asymptomatic patients will go a long way to help us in the industry to stay safe.

Blended Finance can help bridge the pre-existing as well as post-pandemic investment gaps.

Excellence meeting.

@Hassan Zakari => Elena Kountoura also said it is important to address asymptomatic transmission. Our EUvsVirus 3 safe tourism concepts were designed from the ground up based on the need for preventive asymptomatic transmission. We will continue to develop new ways to address asymptomatic transmission to make SAFE tourism possible!
