The tourism industry faces a pressing challenge - balancing economic growth with environmental preservation and social responsibility. Traditional tourism models often lead to environmental degradation, cultural homogenization, and economic disparities. Local communities are marginalized, and natural resources are depleted, threatening the industry's long-term sustainability. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the industry's vulnerability to external shocks, emphasizing the need for resilient and sustainable practices.

Dimensions of Regenerative Practices in Tourism and Hospitality offers a comprehensive solution to these challenges. The book provides practical guidelines for businesses and practitioners to adopt regenerative practices effectively by showcasing innovative and sustainable initiatives. It explores the role of local communities in shaping and benefiting from sustainable tourism, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among stakeholders. Additionally, the book evaluates the environmental impact of different approaches within the industry and promotes ethical behavior, encouraging fair treatment of employees, communities, and cultural heritage.

This book serves as a unifying platform, bridging diverse interests and responsibilities in shaping the future of sustainable tourism and hospitality. Academics, industry professionals, policymakers, and advocates will find valuable insights, fostering a collective consciousness about their pivotal role in steering the industry toward a regenerative, sustainable, and community-centric future. With its interdisciplinary approach and real-world examples, the book is poised to become a cornerstone in the study of regenerative practices, propelling forward-thinking research agendas and influencing corporate strategies and government policies.
