Regenerative Travel Principles for Hospitality White Paper

We are at a turning point as a human species to reverse the trajectory of climate change with an urgent call to repair and replenish the damage to our environment and our communities.

Regenerative principles are emerging as the future of tourism with the potential and capacity to create better conditions for people and life to flourish.

This white paper leverages case studies from hotels who might be practicing regeneration without explicitly using the terminology; plus a lexicon of “regenerative terminology” so readers can go from the theoretical to the practical applications of Regenerative Travel as a force for positive change.

We invite you to join the journey of co-evolution through regeneration as we build our framework on the regenerative principles for hospitality.
