REGENERATIVE TOURISM:
One form of transformative tourism* that has positive effects on the surrounding world; to culture, environment, people and society.
Although the phenomenon is actualized via individuals, so-called individual outcomes are not the main focus – this is the main difference between regenerative tourism and the common outlooks of transformative tourism. In regenerative tourism the aim is not solely to minimize the negative effects of tourism, but to maximize the positive ones (“net positive benefit”).
* Transformative tourism deals with the issue of how travel and tourism can change human behaviour and have a positive impact on the world.
