Becоming а Regenerаtive Tоurist A Regenerаtive tоurism represents a sustainable way of travelling and discovering new places in the world. Although people have been travelling for centuries, travelling with tourism as the main goal has only developed into one of the most important global economic sectors over the past few decades. However, this development has not been without negative impacts. Tourism has major environmental impacts (such as biodiversity loss, landscape impact, waste and water scarcity) and social impacts (such as overtourism, gentrification and social uprising). B Regenerative tourism is a concept that has increasingly gained attention as a new way to travel. As the vulnerabilities of the tourism industry were further highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, for some this was the perfect opportunity to rethink tourism such as regenerative tourism. The idea of regeneration — renewing or restoring something — is not new, but it has only been in the last few years that regeneration ranging from agriculture to architecture sectors has entered the mainstream conversation. The COVID-19 pandemic has further emphasised the vulnerabilities of the sector and the need to rethink tourism, and this has increased the focus on improving the way we interact with the world on our travels. C To incorporate the ideas behind regenerative tourism into a business, it is important to first understand what this type of tourism is. Regenerative tourism represents a sustainable way of travelling and discovering new places. Its main goal is for visitors to have a positive impact and influence on their holiday destination, meaning that they leave it in a better condition than how they found it. Therefore, it is a concept that goes beyond "not damaging" the environment and that aims to actively revitalise and regenerate it, resulting in a positive cycle of impacts on local communities and economies: sustainable regeneration. Concrete examples include farmers that work together with tourism professionals to restore degraded lands, local communities conserving pristine rainforest with ecolodges, or restoring biodiversity by stopping livestock grazing and reintroducing wild animals. D Perhaps those unfamiliar with this form of tourism might be wondering how this is different from sustainable tourism. Essentially, this form of tourism is the key and trending industry term of today that has seemed to have surpassed its sustainable variant. However, the implications of regenerative tourism are more than just a temporary trend. Instead, it represents the idea that tourism should leave a place better than it was before. In comparison, the concept of “sustainability” is leaving something as it is so that it stays the same; in other words, not causing any extra damage. Additionally, in the case of sustainable tourism, this often results in what some experts call a trade-off between negative and positive impacts of tourism. E Once a traveller knows the goal of regenerative tourism aims to enhance the wellbeing of places and the people who live in them. Unlike mass tourism, which often strains resources and compromises residents’ quality of life, regenerative tourism is about giving back by supporting local economies, trying to preserve culture, and helping to nurture the environment. This means treating a holiday as more than a personal escape and thinking how the local area can benefit from visitors. For example, you can consider planting trees in a reforestation project or learning traditional crafts from local artisans and participating in cultural events. F Depending on the location, there might be chances to join in community programmes which help alleviate poverty or improve the lives of Indigenous communities. These actions can empower locals and help create a more inclusive environment. Through this approach, experiences can be sought and cultivated which help to restore and sustain the places you visit. Imagine, for instance, learning traditional Venetian glassblowing techniques as a way of supporting the artisans who keep this ancient craft alive in Italy. In rural Spain, you could support local communities in remote villages by staying in family-run guesthouses. G These are just some of the opportunities for travellers to contribute to the places they visit, hopefully leaving a positive impact. This approach to travelling also offers the traveller the chance to make personal connections and unforgettable memories through direct engagement with local people, where you can ask questions and learn about local culture, history, and community activities. As a guest, being gracious promotes goodwill and strengthens the bond between travellers and locals. H When you think about destinations we might want to travel to this year and beyond, it is worth considering whether you want to be a passive tourist, or a regenerative traveller who combines a sense of curiosity with a sense of responsibility. Tourism is and will be a significant part of many countries’ economies, but not everyone is happy with the industry and its impact on the world. Yet, consumers can change its direction. The choices we make about our travel plans could mean the difference between a holiday that contributes to a legacy of positive change or one that perpetuates the social and environmental issues facing the planet and its people.
