Tourism companies and regions are desperate to #ReigniteTourism around the world. They need to support the economy to generate the much-needed employment and economic benefits. However, we need to be alert, observe all information, use smart methodologies, and be flexible as we find a new normal in the tourism industry. Preparation, agility, and fast and calculated reactions are key to survival. Technology powered smart management and marketing will help us survive in the short term. Brace for the future and help Reignite, Refocus, Redesign and Reengineer our global tourism industry: the new four R's of tourism!
