Tourism is not only about enjoying the natural beauty or culture of a place but also about how tourists can contribute to the sustainability and well-being of local communities. One concept that is gaining popularity in the world of tourism is regenerative tourism, which aims to not only maintain but also improve the environmental and social conditions in tourist destinations.
Regenerative tourism is a more advanced approach compared to sustainable tourism. While sustainable tourism focuses on reducing negative impacts, regenerative tourism seeks to provide positive impacts by restoring and improving environmental conditions and the well-being of local communities. This concept emphasizes the active involvement of tourists in activities that support local ecosystems and communities.
Some of the key principles of regenerative tourism include:
Because, a tourism village provides an opportunity for tourists to interact directly with the local community, making it an ideal place to implement the concept of Regenerative Tourism. Tourists can enjoy nature and culture and can directly contribute to environmental sustainability and community welfare. Here are some examples of activities that tourists can do in implementing the regenerative concept in a Tourism Village:
Most tourist villages in Indonesia have adopted the principle of sustainable travel and tourism with a regenerative approach. In these places, tourists not only enjoy the charm of nature and culture, but are also directly involved in environmental conservation efforts and empowerment of local communities.

This village combines natural beauty with sustainable farming practices. Here, tourists can learn to grow organic vegetables, pick garden produce, and milk cows directly from the residents' farms. More than just fun activities, this village also preserves nature through water and soil conservation.
The village can be one of the successful examples of sustainable tourism management. Tourists can join in plowing the fields, planting rice, and learning to make traditional tempeh with the residents. Not only that, the village also implements strict waste management and water conservation as part of daily life.
Ponggok Village has abundant natural water sources, therefore this village developed Umbul Ponggok and has become a famous water tourism destination.

Interestingly, the profits from this tourism sector go directly back to the residents and are used to fund the development of village infrastructure and support better access to education.
Penglipuran Village in Bali is known as one of the cleanest villages in the world and it is not without reason. Strict customary rules maintain cleanliness and order in the environment, including a ban on motorized vehicles in the village. With the traditional Tri Mandala spatial plan, Penglipuran Village maintains harmony between sacred places, settlements, and public spaces. Not only is it beautiful to look at, this village is also a living example of how culture and nature can be preserved through local wisdom.
Kampung Blekok is a real example of a tourist village that places local ecosystem preservation as the core of its activities. Located in Situbondo, this village is a habitat for various types of birds, including the endangered Blekok bird. Local residents work together to preserve the environment and open up space for tourists to get involved in conservation activities directly. Through this approach, Kampung Blekok has succeeded in protecting biodiversity while developing the local economy through conservation-based tourism.
Traveling with a regenerative concept can provide a deeper and more personal experience. Travelers not only explore new destinations, but also return home with new insights, strong emotional bonds, and the satisfaction of having made a positive impact. Current tourism trends go beyond just relaxing or chasing the perfect photo. More and more people are seeking experiences that are meaningful, impactful, and memorable not just for themselves, but also for the places they visit. By choosing regenerative tourism in tourist villages, you not only enjoy the beauty of nature and local culture, but also take an active role in protecting the environment, preserving traditions, and supporting the lives of local people. Starting from planting trees, learning to make crafts, to helping with animal conservation, every small step means a lot.
