Regenerating Tourism with Andreas Koch 🌱🌊
This episode features Andreas Koch, founder of Tourythm which is about creating a new rhythm in the tourism industry to help the people in it to regenerate the world and themselves.
A business sector that needs a lot of impulses towards more conscious,
earth-aligned practices – the travel and tourism industry -which produces 10 %
of GDP and employs 10 % of humans on the planet.
Andreas works with hotel Teams to become more sustainable from the ground up.
Being holistic and inclusive he connects the localities,
local businesses, farmers etc. with hotels or event sites to help weave a web of
interconnection and mutual support.
Inviting farmers to join forces with hotels to create events
in collaboration that may include regenerative wine/olive oil tastings or bringing hotels together with engineering experts to redesign energy flows.
“Sustainability may mean, doing less harm to nature. Where we want something of a balance sheet between economic, social and ecological activities –
and I feel that is not enough. […]The system is asking for change.
[…] I always describe climate change as being burnout on the outer and
depression on the inner landscape. When I heard about regeneration, about
permaculture, I felt as a biologist this is something I can apply to the
economic world.”
A sustainable hotel for Andreas is one where every
relationship inside and outside the hotel, everything that it is connected with
(infrastructure, food, suppliers, cleaning, personnel,…) feels regenerative.
-Employees as ambassadors for regeneration
-Suppliers that regenerate the region through
what they are producing
-Giving back to visitors so they feel regenerated and can relax and renew in meaningful ways
and so much more.
We talk about what resilience looks like in this industry
and why creating redundancies is important,
exploring questions like: “how can
we serve not just the clients but also the employees, the land, the culture..?”
💡 Andreas' TIP: Explore socialbnb, traveling to unique
accommodations around the world that support local projects, communities and
ecosystems for your next meaningful holiday.
