I had the absolute privilege and pleasure to not only participate but also present in Druskininkai, Lithuania at the 6th International Congress ISFT.
I shared my views and experiences based on my long-standing tourism background and my forest and nature therapy work. With the intersection of the two there are amazing opportunities that lie ahead with making tourism better with the new regenerative tourism paradigm.
In my presentation I explored the overarching benefits of nature and forest therapy in responsible tourism and destination development. Furthermore, I reviewed how this emerging well-being trend has the potential to connect people and planet while visiting and exploring outdoor places.
Such conversations give us the opportunity to look at ideas and approaches from a new perspective. Exciting times ahead to further share this important work and also to engage and brainstorm with others in diverse fields. Learning about how the healing power of nature and forest is explored and engaged in various ways was truly fascinating. There are many possibilities and ways to push such conversations and actions forward to create a tourism sector that supports both people and planet.
