About This Program
Tourism is a powerful driver of economic growth and livelihoods â yet when tourism prioritizes profit over responsibility, it risks exploiting local resources and communities. At XomTour, we believe tourism can and should be a force for transformation. This professional development program is for tour operators, hospitality managers, travel designers, and destination management organizations who want to transition their practice from conventional to regenerative models. Combines theoretical frameworks with field-based case studies drawn from XomTour's own community network. Certificate awarded on completion.
