Overview

The tourism and hospitality industry faces a significant sustainability challenge. Traditional practices prioritize short-term gains over long-term environmental and social well-being, leading to detrimental impacts on local communities, cultural heritage, and the natural environment. The industry's rapid growth and increasing demand for travel experiences worsen this unsustainable approach. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a paradigm shift towards regenerative practices that minimize negative impacts and actively contribute to the restoration and revitalization of destinations and communities. Examining Tourist Behaviors and Community Involvement in Destination Rejuvenation presents a timely and comprehensive solution to this pressing challenge. By exploring regenerative practices, the book offers a roadmap for industry stakeholders to transition towards sustainable models that prioritize environmental stewardship, cultural preservation, and community empowerment. Through a rich tapestry of theoretical insights, practical guidelines, and real-world case studies, the book equips academics, industry professionals, policymakers, and advocates with the tools and knowledge needed to transform the tourism and hospitality landscape. This edited volume provides a holistic framework for reshaping the future of tourism and hospitality, focusing on collaborative partnerships, innovative technologies, and inclusive practices. By highlighting the transformative potential of regenerative practices, the book inspires readers to reimagine their industry roles and actively contribute to a more sustainable, resilient, and community-centric approach to tourism and hospitality.
