Abstract

ABSTRACT The emergence of regenerative tourism has gained worldwide momentum to raise awareness of the environmental and sociocultural impacts of recreational activities in host environments. The article examines leisure as human behaviour in its past, present and future perspectives to identify the current and future avenues of regeneration in leisure and tourist experiences. Although regenerative practices are much older than the COVID-19 pandemic, the current situation necessitates a focus on regenerative understanding that should be integrated into local systems both in the short and long term. Results suggest that to move beyond sustainability and the confines of capitalism, regeneration must be planned and developed in line with Indigenous values. Its effectiveness in reshaping leisure and tourism practices will depend on a collective commitment to finding innovative solutions that benefit the natural world and the diverse communities that interact with it because regeneration looks holistically at the relationship between humans and nature.
