Regenerative Tourism and its relations with communities
Abstract: Regenerative tourism has emerged as a niche innovation that involves communities and other tourism stakeholders in the regenerative development of social-ecological systems. However, little is known about the concept, and it is often misunderstood by researchers and practitioners. Even less is understood about the roles and contributions of communities in implementing this approach. Drawing from a 3-year study, examining tourism’s contributions to the regenerative development of urban social-ecological systems, Loretta Bellato will first describe her conceptualisation of regenerative tourism. She will then explore how regenerative tourism approaches can involve communities and their roles in a tourism living system. The unique and essential contributions of communities will also be discussed. Key regenerative tourism frameworks and their applications will be outlined using real-world tourism case studies.
