RECOVER FROM COVID-19 WITH RESILIENCY.The adage "a great place to live is a great place to visit" has never been more relevant than it is today. At Planet Happiness, we believe an essential foundation for destination resilience and recovery is to place host communities front and centre. We focus on supporting resident well-being through the building of trust, synergies and partnerships between all tourism stakeholders & the host community.
To support Covid-19 recovery, our approach assesses the extent to which the loss of international tourism has impacted the resident population. Research results are shared with target communities and industry stakeholders to collectively define policies and interventions that support host communities alongside industry resilience and recovery. Our ten-step process enables and creates this foundation. We are also working on the design and application of artificial intelligence systems linked to phone apps (for survey-takers) and dashboards (for local governments). Initial steps include the automation of data reporting to ensure survey findings are user-friendly in terms of data illustrations and depictions. Future work will focus on engaging stakeholders in real-time in the design, monitoring and assessment of tourism and well-being interventions. |
