无论是否有全球COVID-19大流行，以促进和设想一个有意义的和积极的转变，整个地球，特别是旅游业，警钟早就应该敲响了。300年前的工业和现代范式无情和自私地开采自然资源，使我们与自然和最终我们自己分离，以至于我们的经济，政治，环境，社会和医疗体系的危机并不令人惊讶。然而，与（后）现代悲观主义观点并列，可以观察到积极的跨现代范式转变及其整体观点和实践。在文化创意的“无声革命”的引领下，新的世界正在出现，尽管仍处于边缘地位。“变革性旅行和旅游”作为一种不断增长的趋势，似乎是这些文化创意者重塑自己和他们生活的世界的重要媒介。内在的变化反映在外部世界。世界上存在、认知和行动的新方式正在出现，因为有意识的公民、消费者、生产者、旅行者、企业家和社区领袖正在呼吁并采取行动，进行必要的转变，走向再生范式和再生经济体系。基于更新和再生的自然循环，这种循环方法以再生土地实践为基础。将再生农业和变革性旅游业联系起来的愿景是为了永远重置全球旅游系统。
With or without the global COVID-19 pandemic to promote and envision a meaningful and positive transformation of the planet in general, and tourism specifically, a wake-up call is long overdue. The 300-years old industrial and modern paradigm of ruthless and selfish exploitation of natural resources has separated us from nature and ultimately ourselves to such an extent that the crises of our economic, political, environmental, social and healthcare systems do not come at any surprise. Yet, in juxtaposition to (post)modern pessimistic views, the positive transmodern paradigm shift with its holistic perspectives and practices can be observed. Led by 'the silent revolution' of cultural creatives, new worlds are emerging, although still kept at the margins. 'Transformative travel and tourism' as an ever-growing trend, appears to be an important medium through which these cultural creatives reinvent themselves and the world they live in. Inner transformation is reflected in the outer world. New ways of being, knowing and doing in the world are emerging as conscious citizens, consumers, producers, travellers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders are calling and acting upon the necessary transformation towards the regenerative paradigm and regenerative economic systems. Based on the natural cycles of renewal and regeneration, this circular approach is underpinned by regenerative land practices. The vision of connecting regenerative agriculture and transformative tourism is offered to reset the global tourism system for good.
