Regenerative tourism shifts the current approach to travel, focusing on minimizing negative impacts and actively contributing to the restoration and enhancement of local environments, communities, and economies. In the context of social development, this approach goes beyond traditional tourism's economic benefits by empowering local populations, preserving cultural heritage, and fostering long-term social equity. Regenerative tourism seeks to create meaningful connections between visitors and destinations, ensuring that tourism activities support community-led initiatives, promote sustainable livelihoods, and address systemic inequalities. By encouraging responsible travel practices, investing in local infrastructure, and supporting educational and social programs, regenerative tourism may enhance well-being, while fostering resilience and social cohesion. Regenerative Tourism for Social Development explores emerging trends and innovations in tourism, highlighting how they can transform the sector into a driving force for social development. It examines the implementation of advanced technologies, the social impact of tourism, regenerative tourism, and the evolution of travelers' behavior. This book covers topics such as ecotourism, sociology, and sustainable development, and is a useful resource for tourism professionals, business owners, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
