5 Principles to Replenishing Nature through Tourism | Amanda Ho | TEDxSUMAS

As planes ground to a halt and the travel industry effectively came to a standstill during the pandemic, we reflected on the basic notion of why we travel and how we travel. There is an urgent call to repair and replenish the damage we have done not only to our environment but our communities through regenerative travel. To start the healing process, we have to think about how and why we travel. There are 5 core principles for the travel industry to re-think how we exist.

1) Whole System Thinking
2) Honouring Sense of Place
3) Community Inclusion & Partnership
4) Aspirational in Nature
5) Continual Coevolution

These guidelines focus on the inclusion of local communities and nature as everything is interconnected. Only by using the strengths of each stakeholder collectively and applying conscious, continual adaptation, we will create truly sustainable, regenerative destinations. Amanda Ho is the Co-Founder of Regenerative Travel, a booking platform for the Regenerative Resorts collection of independently owned eco-luxury boutique hotels dedicated to the highest levels of social and #environmentalimpact.

She is the brand architect behind developing Regenerative Travel as a market leader for regenerative tourism and enables the hotels in the collection to create a deeper impact together.
