Reviews

Juliet Kinsman, Sustainability Editor and Founder, BOUTECO

A much-needed straight-talking guide to the route and rationale for being a regenerative travel business. When we know being sustainable is not enough, insights on how to be nature- and community-positive - featuring stand-out heroes in this space, such as Fogo Island Inn in Canada and The Datai Langkawi in Malaysia - make this essential reading and reference for academics, operators, and agents alike.

Dr. Willy Legrand, IU International University of Applied Sciences

This book articulates regeneration not as an abstract principle but as lived practice rooted in place, community, and voices from across the regenerative travel movement itself. What makes Amanda Ho's work essential is the honesty with which it insists we must first question our understanding of what tourism and hospitality mean, how they operate, what places require, and what fundamental shifts are necessary. Read it for the practical cases, yes, but stay with it for the harder work: this book doesn't pretend the transformation is comfortable, only that it is possible, and vital.

Alessandro Inversini, Professor, EHL Hospitality Business School

Amanda Ho's Regenerative Tourism and Hospitality is a landmark contribution for the responsible development of the travel and tourism industry. Drawing on her extensive experience as CEO of RegenerativeTravel.com, Amanda proposes an innovative framework of five interconnected pillars to be used as a practical lens for understanding and implementing regenerative travel. A must-read for innovative travel managers.

Sarah Dusek, CEO, Few & Far
