Travel - July 2024 - Regenerative Tourism

 

Dear Reader,

‘There’s a shift happening when we think of “luxury”. More and more, there’s a desire for a lifestyle that respects the delicate balance of our planet. A regenerative, connected and fulfilling existence – one that honours the Earth as our home,’ writes Guest Editor Arizona Muse in our latest issue.

Regeneration is a rising trend across industries, so what might regenerative travel look like?

‘It is proactive and intentional, making an area better or improving it as opposed to just sustaining it, and ensuring the greatest positive impact is achieved as a collective,’ Wilderness Safaris‘ Grant Woodrow tells us.

So, as much as regenerative travel is about turning our attention to hidden pockets of the world, it is also about about uplifting them. Our July/August issue is jam-packed with meditations on why connecting back to nature is so important, and uncovering how we can do it.

From regenerative stays to offbeat destinations, here are seven ways to do good with your next holiday.

Enjoy,

Spotlight On: Regenerative Tourism

Soil, Glorious Soil

‘It’s worth getting your hands dirty when you’re travelling,’ writes our Travel Editor-at-Large Francisca Kellett. ‘I mean that literally. Stop, bend down and stick your fingers in the earth – the differences can be astonishing.’ From purple-black soil in Zimbabwe to dark red dust in Costa Rica, here’s why the ground beneath our toes is so important – and how regenerative properties make the most of it.

12 Regenerative Stays

…And, lucky for us, these regenerative hotels can be found all around the world. We’ve gathered 12 of the most exciting hotels that are helping to restore the natural world in their own ways, through conservation, community support, and careful land management. It’s kind on you, too: think unparalleled access to unspoilt nature, without compromising on luxury or service.

Slow Down

Fly less, stay longer. That’s our travel mantra. All the better if you can fuel your days with peddle power. Mary Lussiana explored Poland on two wheels during a Slow Cyclist bike tour – here’s how you can, too.

The Overtourism Issue

Oh, southern Europe: soaring temperatures, prices and people. But it’s easy to head off the beaten track without going long-haul. Olivia Emily sees why city and nature lovers alike are flocking to the Baltics.

All Aboard!

The rail renaissance shows no signs of ceasing. The Eastern & Oriental Express is back after a five-year break, a luxurious yet eco way to traverse Malaysia. Lauren Ho hops aboard.

Wonderful Wildlife

Safaris are as much about animal protection as they are animal spotting – or at least they should be. Venture off the beaten track for unique wildlife encounters, and a reduced impact to boot. Our Editor-at-Wild, Fee Drummond, heads to Suján Jawai, a luxurious Relais & Châteaux tented camp deep in the bewitching Rajasthan wilderness.
