The Regenerative Journeys Framework
We're developing a revolutionary framework that transforms tourism from extractive practice to sacred exchange, healing communities, restoring ecosystems, and fostering reciprocal relationships between guests and hosts through Indigenous sovereignty, bioregional governance, and regenerative design.
This framework will include:
- ðïļ BAZ Tourism Councils with Indigenous leadership and community veto power
- ð Guest Hearts currency for certified regenerative businesses and restoration projects
- ðïļ Climate-adaptive infrastructure serving tourists and climate migrants
- ðŠķ Sacred Journey Protocols with FPIC 2.0 and anti-commodification safeguards
- ð Tourism Impact Assessments measuring cultural continuity and seven-generation impacts
- ð° Dynamic Tourism Levy funding ecosystem restoration and community healing
- ðĄïļ Climate Migration Integration with diaspora tourism and managed retreat protocols
- âïļ Decolonization Scorecard tracking land rematriation and Indigenous sovereignty
Expected completion: Q1 2026
ð Framework Position
As a Tier 3 framework, Regenerative Journeys governs global tourism by leveraging The Mobility Commons (Tier 2) for infrastructure, adhering to the Planetary Health Framework for ecological standards, and using the AUBI Framework for economic tools like Guest Hearts currency.
