Regenerative tourism: the new luxury trend for 2025
09-01-25
Regenerative tourism is emerging as the predominant trend in the luxury travel sector by 2025. This approach goes beyond sustainable tourism, seeking not only to minimize environmental impact, but also to restore and revitalize local ecosystems and communities.
Unlike sustainable tourism, which focuses on reducing the negative effects of tourism, regenerative tourism aims to leave a positive impact on the destinations visited. This involves activities such as restoring natural habitats, supporting the economic development of local communities, and educating travelers about conservation and cultural respect.
Contemporary travelers are increasingly environmentally and socially conscious, prioritizing experiences that promote sustainability and support local economies. According to Omio's 'NowNext '24' report, by 2025, 58% of travelers will prioritize destinations that promote sustainability, while 44% will actively seek to support local businesses and host communities.
Destinations such as Colombia, especially in the Eje Cafetero, are leading this transformation. Projects that restore natural habitats, foster the economic development of communities and educate travelers about conservation and cultural respect are central to this trend.
