\"Move<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

T<\/span>ourism, which grew faster<\/a> than the global gross domestic product for the past nine years, has been decimated by the pandemic. Once accounting for 10 percent of employment worldwide, the sector is poised to shed 121 million jobs, with losses projected at a minimum of $3.4 trillion, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in the lull, some in the tourism industry are planning for a post-vaccine return to travel that\u2019s better than it was before March 2020 \u2014 greener, smarter and less crowded. If sustainable tourism, which aims to counterbalance the social and environmental impacts associated with travel, was the aspirational outer limit of ecotourism before the pandemic, the new frontier is \u201cregenerative travel,\u201d or leaving a place better than you found it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSustainable tourism is sort of a low bar. At the end of the day, it\u2019s just not making a mess of the place,\u201d said Jonathon Day, an associate professor focused on sustainable tourism at Purdue University. \u201cRegenerative tourism says, let\u2019s make it better for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defining regeneration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regenerative travel has its roots in regenerative development and design, which includes buildings that meet the U.S. Green Building Council\u2019s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED<\/a> standards. The concept has applications across many fields, including regenerative agriculture, which aims to restore soils and sequester carbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGenerally, sustainability, as practiced today, is about slowing down the degradation,\u201d said Bill Reed, an architect and principal of Regenesis Group, a design firm based in Massachusetts and New Mexico that has been practicing regenerative design, including tourism projects, since 1995. He described efforts like fuel efficiency and reduced energy use as \u201ca slower way to die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRegeneration is about restoring and then regenerating the capability to live in a new relationship in an ongoing way,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
