About Viajera en Tailandia
We Create Gathering Spots
Among travelers and local hosts who have deep ties to their community
Traveling is a way for us to connect
with places
Every decision we make as travelers—where we stay, with whom we share a meal, whom we choose to share experiences with or buy souvenirs from—leaves a mark on the places we visit.
Sustainability was the first step.
Today we're talking about regeneration
At Viajera en Tailandia, sustainability has been a cornerstone and the first step in building our presence in the tourism industry. Today, we are exploring regeneration—an approach that goes beyond simply reducing negative impacts.
Through the lens of regeneration, we view tourism as the network of a living system, where the well-being of people, places, and ecosystems is deeply interconnected.We aim for every journey to foster connections that enable us to talk, create, and flourish together.
Regenerative Attributes
We have identified five attributes that help us recognize and highlight the regenerative tourism practices carried out by the hosts in our network.
A Deep Connection to the Place
We see how the hosts are connected to the stories, culture, nature, and daily life of their community, and how their initiatives stem from that connection.
Environmental Stewardship
We observe how the hosts take an active role in caring for the living systems that sustain their land: forests, rivers, soil, plants, and animals.
Cultural Heritage and Living Wisdom
We identify how our hosts keep cultural knowledge and practices alive by incorporating them into what they do. Their trades, crafts, food, and stories keep their identity alive.
Collaboration and Collective Action
We recognize how hosts strengthen their relationships with others to share knowledge, create opportunities, and generate benefits that extend beyond their own activities.
Local Nourishment and Community
We see how the work of our hosts contributes to the well-being of those who participate in their initiatives and the people around them. We value practices that improve living and working conditions.
