THE NEED FOR CHANGE
Why Now?
The world as we know has shifted. Global Tourism has been impacted beyond comprehension and hit harder than any other major economic sector, and the way that we do business will never be the same. A global pandemic has shifted the world. It’s what we do next for our industry, customers and beyond, that will ensure we overcome this L Shaped Recession and drive into growth for a new future of a purpose-led trading economy.
The issue is that many industries including tourism, travel & hospitality pre-pandemic were already struggling with over saturation, margin squeeze, and technology disruptions. As an industry, we were not working together across all sectors. Now, combined with the pandemic and the global recession, these industries are not fit to lead us into the new era with an outdated 20th century business model.
Change is now needed. Educating tourism, travel and hospitality industries on how to prepare for a 21st Century business model is critical. Leading with a purpose beyond profit, driving from P&L to asset, whilst uniting businesses together, to shift industries into the new era and make a positive change in the world.
Aligning these industries with a purpose-led platform to connect to engage, to learn to grow, to unite to impact and to trade with a purpose-led focus. Giving the Bonailie & One EarthTM™ IP will Kickstart their Economy, create sustainable business models and prepare the tourism, travel, and hospitality industries and their businesses to maximise on the 10 year growth period that is predicted from Sept 2021.
