We started something good so let's do this! The time is now West Highland College UHI The Centre for Recreation and Tourism Research, UHI
We researched. We tested. We've now found a way to make this organisation sustainable. Get on board. Get back on board. Now is the time. We want to help. We need to help. Slow Adventure is a good example of how sustainable tourism research can lead to good for all. Slow Adventure isn't depending on grant funding. It wants to be a sustainable organisation. If you or anyone you know would like to help us help others then please PM #sustainabletourism #responsibletourism #regenerativetourism EUROPE (visiteurope.com) West Highland College UHI #slowadventure #slowadventuring
Interesting ideas from Norway and Visit Trondheim here. Thank you Petter Thorsen of Wild Norway for posting. Supporting small local operators and communities, encouraging people to spend time in and engage with nature, focusing on creating unique responsible experiences for small groups in vast wild landscapes.... Petter was one of the businesses who worked with us on the Slow Adventure in Northern Territories project to develop the concept of Slow Adventure for small busines...ses. If ever there was a time to help fragile small businesses in remote and rural locations.... If ever there was a time to change the way that people travel and experience the world. Now is the time for Slow Adventure. Things have been bubbling away in the background here since 2018 and believe me, we’ve been trying, but it isn’t enough. We need proper momentum, commitment, and investment so that Slow Adventure can do meaningful work to help the industry, communities and the planet. This is a time for change. Innovation. New ideas. Local experiences. Change of mindset. We want to help. We’ll keep trying. Get in touch if you want us to help you, or if you want to help us to help others.
