This week, we partnered with Beautiful Destinations to bring an episode from our new series 'Recovery Alliance' focusing on discussions related to industry recovery.

Europeans will be among the first to travel internationally within regional 'bubbles', as destinations slowly reopen to international travel. In this focus group between travellers and DMOs, we'll discuss the new needs of travellers in the 'new normal'.

As the reopening of tourism is slowly taking place worldwide, it is becoming crucial to engage with future international visitors, developing solid digital campaigns addressing their needs and expectations as well as developing new safety protocols for visitors, residents and businesses. We have connected with Jamaica Tourist Board to understand how they have marketed the destination to international visitors during this “new normal”.

Recovery is now in sight for many destinations and much is being done to improve destinations to make them safe and ready for travellers when they arrive.

Sustainability is a key issue for the industry as it prepares for recovery. The fast-moving pandemic has been severely disrupting tourism and its impact will irrevocably change the industry, academic engagement, and customer behaviour. The question many destinations are now asking is how can we be sustainable post COVID-19? We dedicate our tenth Tourism Impact call to discussing sustainability and how this is an opportunity for the industry to change for the better.

This week on our ninth Tourism Impact call, we discussed digitalisation and sustainability solutions for recovery. The strategy for many destinations now is to look beyond COVID-19 and prepare for every scenario and the changes and challenges ahead.
