Project Regenerative Tourism

The Regenerative Tourism Model advocates for the integration of all components of a social-ecological system into a cohesive, self-organising structure that embraces uncertainty and adapts to global shocks and emerging trends. It recognises the interconnectedness of social and environmental factors and emphasises the need for regenerative practices in tourism. Furthermore, the model has established a set of indicators to evaluate the extent to which a tourism product or service contributes to regeneration and sustainability.

The Regenerative Tourism Framework serves as a roadmap for achieving regenerative tourism by prioritising destinations and people in the policymaking process. This framework incorporates indicators of regenerative tourism from both the supply and demand sides, encompassing overarching characteristics that should be present. To assess the degree of regenerativeness of a tourism product, a Likert scale (ranging from 1 to 10) is employed, providing a quantitative measure.

One of the key recommendations of the project is the holistic appreciation of indigenous knowledge. Rather than cherry-picking specific elements that align with current tourism discussions while ignoring the broader context, the project advocates for a comprehensive understanding of indigenous knowledge. This knowledge represents a way of life involving dynamic decision-making processes, continually adapting to cycles of growth, accumulation, restructuring, and renewal of resources. Indigenous wisdom emerges from an intricate understanding of specific contexts and times, serving as a steward for the physical, social, and historical environments.
