🌍 How can tourism truly give back to people and the planet?
On 26 September 2025, the University of Primorska (Faculty of Tourism Studies) hosted an inspiring MAST event in Portorož:
“Towards Inclusive Regenerative Tourism: How Tourism Gives Back to People and the Planet?”
Project partners, industry stakeholders, and local actors came together to reflect on how tourism can move beyond sustainability — not only reducing its footprint, but actively regenerating communities, cultural heritage, and ecosystems.
💡 Key takeaways included:
✔ Tourism revenues reinvested in cultural landscapes, green spaces, and inclusive urban planning
✔ Tourism as a driver for reconciliation, social cohesion, and peace in post-conflict societies
✔ Stronger local supply chains linking tourism with farmers, artisans, and circular economy models
✔ Destination partnerships that make regeneration real — from accessible beaches to sustainable mobility
This milestone event showed how regenerative tourism can restore, enrich, and empower — perfectly aligned with the MAST mission of building inclusive, innovative, and resilient tourism models across the Mediterranean.
