Regenerative Tourism - A Brief Description
Regenerative tourism involves stakeholders in the tourism sector collectively taking responsibility for the improvement and enhancement of natural, human, and human-made elements when engaging with a destination. Through thoughtful decision-making and practices, these stakeholders contribute to the betterment of these elements, allowing them to surpass their current survivability conditions.
Regenerative Tourism signifies a shift in mindset and a paradigm change. It marks a progressive evolution in professional business practices, akin to how Occupational Health and Safety has transitioned over the years from being a mere consideration to becoming a cornerstone of business practice.
