🎙️🌿 Community solutions—designing a new approach to tourism that's fit for the future

We're excited to share this conversation between Sonia Teruel from The Regen Lab for Travel and our founder Keeley Warren, recently aired on Travel Writers Radio. They delve into some of the challenges related to overtourism and discuss the importance of community involvement in local tourism development so that it works for everyone—not just visitors.

Key highlights:

✨ Moving beyond the overtourism crisis: While cities like Barcelona implement drastic measures to combat economic leakage, noise pollution and resource strain, smaller communities are pioneering proactive solutions.

✨ The power of dialogue: How facilitated conversations between locals and municipalities are creating shared visions that benefit residents, ecosystems and visitors alike.

✨ Community-led change: Why local voices matter most in shaping tourism's future—and how residents can actively participate in creating the places they want to live in, and discuss how they want to host visitors.

✨ Real-world impact: Why tourism models that regenerate rather than extract from the places they operate within are so important.

This conversation couldn't be more timely!
