The world of wine tourism is paralysed by the health crisis... In order to deal with the situation, an international working group has been created to come up with ideas promoting the resumption of activity. Great Wine Capitals has joined this group of experts.

The Great Wine Capitals organized a 2-sessions workshop where Best Of Wine Tourism awarded wineries have been able to Meet & Share experience and good practices about how their teams in the winery have organized their business differently due to the Covid-19 crisis, how they have maintained their marketing activities, how they were able to sell wines during lockdown, how some of them have reopened to public and how they imagine the short and long term future of their wine tourism activities. 

Here are some of the main lessons from this workshop.

The scale of disruption caused by COVID-19 to global tourism is shown in a comprehensive new report on travel restrictions from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). The landmark report, published at a time of unprecedented disruption for the sector, shows that almost all global destinations have imposed restrictions on travel since January 2020, including complete bans on all travel as they work to contain the pandemic.
