I was delighted to join Tourism MSc students at University of Surrey for a guest lecture this morning! We talked about:
- How we'll #buildbackbetter once tourism recovers đŞ
- How we might see an increase in domestic #tourism in coming years đ¤
- How business travel might decrease, as companies have figured out they can work remotely and save ÂŁs đ°
- How âď¸ flight levels are likely to remain reduced compared to previous years due to economic downfall, fear of travel etc.
- How current worldwide carbon emission reductions âď¸ will provide new insights to tackle #climatechange
- How social distancing could be implemented on flights, at the airport đ and in-resort
- How businesses will have to change their models to survive this crisis: restaurants focusing on deliveries, chefs doing online classes đĽetc.
And most importantly, how even though our industry will change, young bright minds will always be needed to build a better world đ, where we continue to learn and connect with other countries, cultures and people. I encourage furloughed professionals to reach out to #universities and #teachers and share your knowledge with students đ§âđ. More than ever, we need to engage the younger generations on #sustainability
