What will the new normal in tourism look like?

We asked tourism experts from our global network to give their opinion on the new normal in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis.

Here are statements from our Chairman, Reto Wittwer and Advisory Board Members, Paul Steele, Fernanda Barrence Mutz, Prof. Kaye Chon and Veronika Schanderl.

Tourism is more than just travelling. Tourism is one of the most important drivers for the development of a country or a destination and strongly connects to many other industries.
World Tourism Forum Lucerne is the only platform where international top level decision makers from industry, government, academia and finance discuss the future challenges with the next generation.
We cordially invite you to join this exceptional networking platform with an open minded and future oriented exchange across industries and generations.
— Prof Martin Barth, President & CEO
