Regenerative tourism and policy

Join Visit Tórshavn on their journey to create a sustainable and regenerative product and an intertwined experience. How do you combine creating something that is both a product and an experience, and becomes part of the circular economy? Visit Tórshavn may have cracked the nut on this one and is doing something very unconventional—opening the doors to their idea before it has come to life, giving you the chance to influence the end product.

Evaluating Our Journey: NorReg Evaluation Matrix

Regenerative tourism is about fostering the flourishing of communities and nature, moving beyond a focus on purely economic benefits. It emphasizes wellbeing, balance, and the positive impacts tourism can have.

This calls for new approaches in evaluating what we consider success factors in tourism.

At NorReg, we have developed an evaluation matrix that gathers methods, questions, and approaches to help assess progress towards regenerative tourism.

Join us for an introduction to the matrix and a discussion on the path forward.

Citizen Science for visitors: Monitoring Seals in Snæfellsnes Regional park

Snæfellsnes Regional Park, our NorReg partner in Iceland, has been involved in an exciting Citizen Science project for visitors since 2023. A citizen science pilot project was created through NorReg in partnership between the Snæfellsnes Regional Park and Youth for Arctic Nature project, the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute, the Icelandic Seal Center, Hotel Snæfellsnes, and the Ytri-Tunga landowners. The aim was to:

• Contribute to scientific research on seals and biodiversity in the future

• Help youth and others who want to learn more about wildlife monitoring through environmental education and training

• Connect with local schools and local stakeholders in Snæfellsnes to establish long-term monitoring projects

In this first NorReg partner presentation, Ragnhildur Sigurðardóttir, Managing Director of Snæfellsnes Regional Park, Dr. Jessica Aquino, Associate Professor at Hólar University and Coordinator of the NorReg Academic Group, and Cécile Chauvat, Naturalist with Northwest Iceland Nature Research Centre and Coordinator with Youth for Arctic Nature, will introduce this project and their findings.
