Our Community

Nurturing Regenerative Places

Black Background.jpg

If you're working in tourism, economic development, community building, or any field touching on how people and places interact, then our community of practice is your place to connect, learn, and experiment.

Why do we need communities of practice?

A Community of Practice is a place of cross-pollination – where your experience in tourism meets someone's work in community development, where alternative kinds of knowledge meets innovation, where questions matter as much as answers.

In the CoLab Community, we believe that true wisdom emerges when we honour the diverse knowledge and experience that each person brings.

That's why we've created a community of practice as a welcoming hub for genuine exchange – not just networking, not just theory, but real practice and honest conversation about what we're actually experiencing in our work in reimagining, designing and experimenting with new forms of hosting and guesting for the future.

Who is the Community for?

  • Tourism professionals seeing that business-as-usual won't cut it anymore

  • Economic development professionals trying to balance growth with genuine community wellbeing

  • Community leaders navigating the tension between visitor economies and local needs

  • Business owners wanting to move beyond greenwashing but unsure how to be regenerative

  • Destination managers grappling with overtourism, climate impacts, or community disconnect

  • Early career professionals sensing there must be a better way and wuld like to connect with others on this path and learn

Why Join our Community of Practice?

Whether you're just beginning to question what the furture of toruism looks like, or you're already deep into reimagining your work, your place, or your organisation, having a community of fellow pathfinders, practitioners and activators makes all the difference. 

Membership is for those who recognise the value of being in community, showing up regularly, and engaging with a global network of regenerative practitioners. We can provide ongoing learning opportunities that fit your schedule, and peer support as you navigate real challenges, and connection with practitioners who understand the complexity of regenerative work.
