1) The document discusses how conscious travel is changing the game of tourism by shifting the purpose from simply growing visitor numbers and revenues to promoting flourishing for communities, guests, and the environment. 2) It argues that conscious travel achieves this by reframing narratives around what it means to be human, our relationship with nature, and the role of tourism in connecting people to place and each other. 3) The presentation outlines a model for conscious travel that focuses on principles like purpose, people, place, protection, pace, and performance to create higher net benefits through tourism in a holistic, integrated way.

- 43. Conscious Travel a Game Changer because 1. We’re changing the purpose of travel – from simply growing (getting bigger) to FLOURISHING (becoming better) 2.

- 86. Imagine...... a network of host communities each exploring how to deliver net benefits from tourism, a good living for people, and transformative experiences for guests each in their own way? 86
- 87. In the same way that cells combine to form different organs of the body, so will the collective output of these cells combine to create a new organic, ecological form of tourism - one that is environmentally sustainable, socially just and spiritually fulfilling www.conscious.travel www.slideshare.net/AnnaP That’s game changing!
Editor's Notes
- #15: No region or ector makes sufficient profit so will pass on to customers US$40 trillion neeeded to upgrade global infrastructure – no governments have that cash – more debt higher costs
- #16: No region or sector makes sufficient profit so will pass on to customers US$40 trillion neeeded to upgrade global infrastructure – no governments have that cash – more debt higher costs
- #17: No region or ector makes sufficient profit so will pass on to customers US$40 trillion neeeded to upgrade global infrastructure – no governments have that cash – more debt higher costs

- #37: Mass tourism copied the same production – consumption model that KPMG say is unsustainable It is, therefore, subject to its same excesses and intrinsic weaknesses. It’s turned travelers and guests into consumers, tourists or, worse, market segments. It’s turned places into products and exotic experiences into safe packages that can be rated and compared by algorithm. Instead of obsessing about fulfillment, it fixates on efficiency, automation and standardization and then competes on price not value. Just think about it – we’ve taken a highly diverse complex planet that’s 13.5 billion years old with life forms that have taken 3.8 billion years to evolve and carved it up into products we now sell at bargain basement prices. Does that make sense? Does it make you proud?
- #53: Why Wake Up? We have to wake up from the trance we’re in and become aware of our present and precarious position. The word conscious means awake, aware and and alert – it means making mindful, informed decisions NOT being willfully blind because the truth is too inconvenient. Our indigenous brothers and sisters – from all corners of the planet – are quite insistent that we have to see our world and our role in it differently. In every case, a change in seeing must precede a change in being, which must precede in doing. Many scientists, most cosmologists, some economists and many deep thinkers are all saying the same thing – we have the means to restore that relationship with planet earth but, until there is a major shift in consciousness (perception and will), those means won’t be deployed in time. Jeremy Rifkin, one the top advisors to the EU on its energy policy and author The Third Industrial Revolution, says we have one generation in which to shift human consciousness.
