About
Regeneration
Regeneration transforms travel as a force for good by revitalizing local communities and their ecosystems while offering travelers transformational experiences.
A PROBLEM WORTH SOLVINGRegenerative Impact
Mass tourism is wreaking havoc on the planet and local communities, with 1.5 billion people traveling to less than 5% of the Earth each year. This overwhelming influx imposes significant strain on both nature and society: overuse of land and water resources, destruction of natural habitats, endangerment of native species, and increased pollution and littering. It also affects local communities by commercializing local heritage, leading to a loss of value and identity, raising local prices, and creating an excessive reliance on tourism, which exposes them to fluctuations in the global market. National governments and international financial institutions fail to reach remote communities in rural areas and spur community-led sustainable economic growth. Local development tends to favor extractive growth and replicate systemic inequalities over fair and harmonious development with nature.
We develop and support local high-end experiential micro-hospitality projects, recruiting and training community members in administration, operations, and sustainable management. Our regenerative projects foster economic development, empower local communities, restore degraded natural ecosystems, and preserve cultural heritage. Central to our approach are gender equality, planetary health, and well-being, promoting fair development within planetary boundaries. We monitor and assess our impact to enhance performance across all projects, favoring replication over scale-up due to strong demand. By adapting our model to new conditions, we leverage local context and lessons learned.
