In this concluding episode of The Nordic Regenerative Tourism Podcast, we welcome Dr. Jessica Aquino, Associate Professor at Hólar University and leader of the Nordic Academic Group. Jessica takes us through her interdisciplinary journey—from conservation biology to tourism and community development—and reflects on the evolution and challenges of regenerative tourism.

We explore her work with the Nordic Regenerative Tourism (NorREG) project and discuss how academia, local communities, and businesses can collaborate to drive meaningful change. Jessica shares her vision for regenerative tourism, its potential to move beyond buzzwords, and its ability to create lasting positive impacts for communities and the environment. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of sustainable and regenerative travel.
