Travelers are increasingly demanding more sustainable options from tourism and hospitality companies and, in order to thrive, travel professionals must implement regenerative practices at the heart of their operations. Regenerative travel focuses on a future where tourism creates a positive impact for destinations by travel companies investing in local communities, ultimately leaving them a better place.

Regenerative Tourism and Hospitality explores the practical steps tourism and hospitality professionals can take to adapt their travel businesses to align with the Glasgow Declaration and achieve net zero emissions targets by 2050. It looks at the five key areas travel businesses must consider: measurement, decarbonization, regeneration, collaboration and finance. It stresses how travel businesses have a responsibility to address the climate crisis by investing in the local communities where tourism operations are based to ensure vulnerable environments can continue to exist and accept visitors. At the same time, to meet consumer demands, travel operators must offer more sustainable options that allow travellers to engage actively with the destinations they visit.

This book offers data-driven and nature-based solutions for senior travel professionals to transform their businesses to be more purposeful and sustainable. Using real-world examples this book shows how by adopting regenerative practices, tourism and hospitality businesses' efforts can benefit destinations, elevate the traveller experience and have a positive impact on the future of the industry.

Reviews for Regenerative Tourism and Hospitality: Building a Resilient and Positive Impact-Led Travel Industry

""A much-needed straight-talking guide to the route and rationale for being a regenerative travel business. When we know being sustainable is not enough, insights on how to be nature- and community-positive - featuring stand-out heroes in this space, such as Fogo Island Inn in Canada and The Datai Langkawi in Malaysia - make this essential reading and reference for academics, operators, and agents alike."" * Juliet Kinsman, Sustainability Editor and Founder, BOUTECO * ""This book articulates regeneration not as an abstract principle but as lived practice rooted in place, community, and voices from across the regenerative travel movement itself. What makes Amanda Ho's work essential is the honesty with which it insists we must first question our understanding of what tourism and hospitality mean, how they operate, what places require, and what fundamental shifts are necessary. Read it for the practical cases, yes, but stay with it for the harder work: this book doesn't pretend the transformation is comfortable, only that it is possible, and vital."" * Dr. Willy Legrand, IU International University of Applied Sciences * "" Amanda Ho's Regenerative Tourism and Hospitality is a landmark contribution for the responsible development of the travel and tourism industry. Drawing on her extensive experience as CEO of RegenerativeTravel.com, Amanda proposes an innovative framework of five interconnected pillars to be used as a practical lens for understanding and implementing regenerative travel. A must-read for innovative travel managers."" * Alessandro Inversini, Professor, EHL Hospitality Business School * ""This book is a seminal work on regenerative travel and tourism. Amanda powerfully showcases the pioneering practitioners around the world who are ushering in a new era of travel. Her breadth and depth of knowledge make this a foundational read for anyone committed to seeing travel and tourism become a true force for good."" * Sarah Dusek, CEO, Few & Far *
