    Episode 9: Nature Positive Tourism – Long-term plan or short-term jargon?Sponsored by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lemongrass⁠⁠⁠⁠Holly and Richard discuss how tourism can support biodiversity and nature regeneration and whether the term nature positive tourism is jargon or a long-term plan for the industry with guests Kasia Morgan, Head of Sustainability for Exodus Adventure Travels, and Frans Schepers, Founder and Chief Executive of Rewilding Europe.In this episode, we unpack:The term nature positive tourism - what it is, and whether the approach leads to genuine action. How tour operators can drive meaningful action for nature by identifying the right partners.Why Rewilding Europe is using nature tourism to support the rewilding of landscapes across Europe.How Exodus’ nature strategy and approach has evolved. How tourists and travellers can get involved in the restoration of nature on holiday. How we can measure our impact on nature as an industry and as individual companies. Quotes from our guests: “At Rewilding Europe, we actually use the term rewilding tourism to better describe what we stand for. that is moving away from minimizing harm to actually actively contributing to restoring ecosystems… moving away from observing static nature to witnessing its recovery." - Frans Schepers. “The tourism industry is uniquely placed to support that global goal to halt and reverse biodiversity loss… through getting involved, emotional engagement, and helping people play an active role.” - Kasia Morgan “We work in 11 big landscapes across Europe and that number is growing. In these places we want to build a local nature-based or nature-positive economy, where there's a new narrative moving away from traditional land uses — agriculture, forestry and hunting — to a narrative where local economies build on natural features and natural capital. Of course tourism plays an important role.” – Frans Schepers. “I think it's tempting to try and find an area in which we can easily quantify.But I think it's also our role to not risk undermining or oversimplifying the importance of the work (nature restoration) and also making sure that a distinction can be drawn between something that might look good at surface level and that is genuinely really effective and focused on the right thing.” – Kasia Morgan Find out more about our guests in this episode:Frans SchepersKasia Morgan Some useful links to things mentioned in the show:Read about Exodus Adventure Travels’ commitment to nature here.

    Episode 8: Certification – Labels, labels everywhere: To certify, or not to certify? Sponsored by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lemongrass⁠⁠⁠⁠Holly and Richard discuss certification, what it is, whether there are too many labels, and whether it’s worth the investment with expert guests Rochelle Turner, Head of Impact EMEA, Intrepid Travel and Kees Jan Boonen, Head of Policy and Government Affairs, Travalyst. In this episode, we unpack:How EU regulation will soon impact all travel certifications Whether certification is worth the investment, and whether they are affordable for SMEs The pros and cons of certification How the industry could make the certification landscape easier for consumers to navigate What’s next for the industry and certifications Quotes from our guests: Rochelle Turner, “We have big issues in our industry and I think certification is a way that can help companies go on a journey that will make them better. It's not the only way, but it is a way. And if it is done with an independent third party verification that has very strict environmental and social standards that look holistically at what an organization is doing, then I think, yes, think certification can be a way to help companies move towards greater sustainability.”Kees Jan Boonen, “If you talk to travellers, they would like to travel more sustainably. They see a role for certifications here. But a couple of conditions that need to be met. It needs to be clear, needs to be consistent, and it needs to be credible.”Rochelle Turner, “Sometimes (certification) does require a little bit of a shake up and asking yourself some hard questions along the way.”Kees Jan Boonen, “Incoming legislation is setting conditions for the certification schemes to be compliant to install trust. What it does not look at is to what extent certification has maximum impact. So, I think that's a different question and perhaps a next step for us as an industry.”Find out more about our guests in this episode:Kees Jan Boonen on LinkedInRochelle Turner on LinkedIn Some useful links to things mentioned in the show:The Empowering Consumers Directive, also known as the Directive on Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition, is a new EU law that came into force in March 2024, with an application date of September 27, 2026.Rochelle authored this report on how being a B Corp has helped Intrepid: Our B Corp Certification Report | Intrepid Travel EUThe second iteration of Travalyst’s certification benchmarking was released at the end of Jan 2026.
