'Grounded in living systems thinking, this handbook powerfully advances regenerative tourism as a social–ecological practice rooted in place, community, and reciprocity. By integrating Indigenous knowledge, community leadership, and nature-based innovation, it offers a compelling pathway for tourism to actively restore landscapes and livelihoods. A vital contribution to both scholarship and practice'.
