dc.description.abstract This white paper is an outcome of an international research project supported by Leading House MENA, an initiative by The Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation (SERI). It compiles insights and recommendations from an expert roundtable aimed at exploring the concept of regenerative tourism and its potential to rejuvenate nature, communities, and the dynamics between hosts and guests. The roundtable convened 15 national experts from the private and public sectors, along with civil society.
