Regenopolis and Igarapé Institute launch the Regenerative Hospitality Moonshot White Paper alongside the World Economic Forum in Davos. 

The travel and hospitality sector is a colossal force globally – contributing trillions to GDP and supporting hundreds of millions of livelihoods. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Travel & Tourism report, the industry is projected to grow steadily in the decade ahead, with strong economic multipliers and community impact potential. But growth alone isn’t enough.

What if hospitality could regenerate the places and people it touches, leaving destinations and communities better than we found them?

This report shows it’s not only possible but it’s already happening.

In the white paper, we:

  • Decodify a Trailblazer Model (IBITI), a practical framework born from real-world labs, designed to be learned, adapted, and replicated across contexts.
  • Show how regenerative hospitality can catalyze mixed-model investments, unlocking blended finance opportunities that support durable, systemic impact.
  • Frame regenerative hospitality as a catalytic investment opportunity for investors looking to accelerate regenerative change and generate ecological and social returns.

The report also highlights the enabling role of the larger ecosystem and its stakeholder creating the conditions for this movement to thrive and scale.
