| 29 Jun 2021 | Sarni Hart - Fostering Connection to People and Place | 00:50:50 | |
In this episode, Josie and Debbie interview Sarni Hart, Director of Coromandel Adventures. Sarni is passionate about helping visitors develop greater understanding, respect, and appreciation of our natural world in hopes they will choose to take an active role in protecting it. Sarni is a model for how as tourism operators, we can be involved in taking care of the environment and communities that we rely on for our industry. She speaks to the challenges of working with varied and diverse stakeholders in communities, and to how their shared desire to create a better future for the Coromandel keeps them moving forward together. We’re thrilled to share Sarni’s story, as a tourism operator quietly and diligently working for a positive impact on her place. Wherever you are on the regenerative journey, we hope you relate to Sarni’s story and find inspiration in her passion.

| 11 Jul 2022 | Tourism’s Challenges in a VUCA World - with Susanne Becken | 00:43:52 | |
Talking tourism in a VUCA world requires us to have challenging conversations, and this conversation with Susanne Becken was certainly that. If we’re to create a different future together, that means talking about low-carbon travel, predatory delay, unsustainable bounce back and fast-growth models, the need for a clear cohesive national strategy, ongoing regional support, and innovative business models that are truly sustainable in the face of future challenges. We dive in to all these challenges and more in this honest and broad-ranging conversation with Susanne. Despite the monumental mindset shift needed, she also speaks to the hope she sees in collaborations, new and diverse voices, passionate people, and the power of tourism as a vehicle for change.

| 01 Jun 2021 | Kristin Dunne - Courageous Leadership & The DNA of Place | 00:59:30 | |
In this episode, Debbie and Josie interview Tourism Bay of Plenty’s Chief Executive, Kristin Dunne, who has been a forerunner in regenerative tourism in Aotearoa New Zealand. You’ll hear how Kristin’s courageous leadership has inspired the Bay of Plenty community to create a unique vision for the future of their place, and how understanding the authentic “DNA” or essence of a place is essential to establishing a regenerative visitor economy. If Episode 1 is an introduction to the thinking behind regenerative tourism, Episode 2 is an inspiring example of this brave and transformative work in action, and demonstrates the need for this thinking at both the regional and national level. We hope you find this conversation as enlivening and motivating as we did.

| 08 Jun 2021 | Nadine Toe Toe - "Change a Town Through Tourism" | 00:41:42 | |
In this episode, Debbie and Josie interview Nadine Toe Toe, Co-Director of Kohutapu Lodge & Tribal Tours, a whānau-owned and operated tourism business with a vision to “Change a town through tourism”. Nadine shares how her family and business are an integral part of their community and the experience they offer visitors is one of deep cultural exchange that gives back to the tamariki (children) of the area through opportunities for travel, growth, and development. Nadine also discusses how regenerative tourism practice is strongly aligned with Te Ao Māori, the Māori worldview, and therefore is not new, but deeply rooted in ancient indigenous wisdom. We’ve introduced regenerative tourism principles in our first two episodes from an overarching view and then a regional view. In this episode we hear from a local, community based tourism business owner providing an inspiring example of regenerative tourism in practice.

| 11 Oct 2022 | Destination Management for Regenerative Tourism - Part 1 | 01:16:11 | |
As destinations globally are starting to think about a regenerative approach to destination management, we’re honoured to share the journey that Aotearoa New Zealand’s 31 Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs) initiated during the pause of the pandemic. At the request of the NZ government, and with the support of government funding, New Zealand’s RTOs have engaged in destination management planning and many have begun the journey towards a regenerative approach to tourism.
This episode is the first in a two part mini series, with this episode focusing on a national perspective, and the next episode focusing on a regional perspective.
We speak first with Kiri Goulter, of Regional Tourism New Zealand (RTNZ), a membership based and funded organisation representing the interests of all Regional Tourism Organisations throughout the country. Kiri describes the destination management planning process all 31 RTOs are engaging in, the various stages of planning and implementation across the regions, and the challenges in transitioning to a regenerative approach to destination management planning.
We also speak with Susan Houge Mackenzie, an Associate Professor of Tourism in the University of Otago School of Business, who is working alongside the RTOs researching the process the regions are going through. Susan brings an academic lens to this process and highlights the commitment of all regions to enhancing their communities, the challenges the varying structures of RTOS creates, ongoing funding needs, developing indicators for success, and the need for a long term evolving approach as capabilities develop. Corrections: Kiri Goulter's role with TNZ was supporting the industry to deliver on the 100% PURE brand, not developing it. The destination management funding provided by the NZ government was in two tranche's - June/July 2020 and June/July 2021.

| 07 Jun 2022 | Introduction: What is Tourism’s Purpose in a VUCA World? | 00:15:21 | |
Welcome to Season 2 of GOOD Awaits! One year into their journey to research and explore regenerative tourism practice in Aotearoa New Zealand, Debbie and Josie are thrilled to be continuing these critical conversations. Continuing to unpack the paradigm shift that is required for a regenerative tourism future, this season of GOOD Awaits will go beyond the perceived silo of tourism with a diverse range of guests including story-tellers, students, researchers, and local hosts. Debbie and Josie will explore how these pioneers are creating a new guiding story at individual, local and systemic levels. A critical question that emerged from Season 1 was: what is tourism’s purpose? Season 2 explores this question further by asking: what is tourism’s purpose in a VUCA - volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous - world? How can we adapt and be resilient while using tourism to regenerate our communities and places? What new stories and myths do we need in order to see ourselves as regenerators of our places? Journey with Debbie and Josie as they explore these questions and as we work towards an evolving, connected, regenerative tourism future together.

| 23 Nov 2022 | Tourism’s Interconnectedness: Regenerative Food Systems - Part One with Angela Clifford | 00:44:32 | |
As we continue to explore tourism’s purpose in a VUCA world, and how tourism can add value and capability to other systems, this is the first of 3 episodes exploring how tourism can support regenerative food systems, local food resiliency, and help shape local food stories. We interview guests who are in both the food and tourism sectors, who think about systems level impact, and who exemplify the potential tourism has to interact with and add value to food systems in particular.
Angela Clifford is the CEO of Eat NZ, an Aotearoa food collective which spans all aspects of our food system. Angela is a passionate advocate for food as a way to deepen our connections to people and to places, to understand other cultures, and to find our way back to food stories that heal us and the planet. Angela co-owns The Food Farm, a regenerative permaculture property, and has deep wisdom about living systems and regeneration. Angela provides tangible examples for how tourism can help guests discover culture through food and build and strengthen networks between food producers, growers, and hospitality businesses to support community resilience. Our multi-day regenerative tourism experience, GOOD Awaits Aotearoa New Zealand, visits Angela on The Food Farm. This is a unique opportunity to spend time with this inspiring woman who is working at a systems level to create change. Learn more about this trip here.

| 06 Jul 2021 | Eliza Raymond - Nurturing Global Citizens | 00:56:17 | |
In this episode, Josie and Debbie interview Eliza Raymond, Co-Founder of GOOD Travel. Eliza shares honestly and openly the way her life journey has challenged and changed her thinking about what it means to be a global citizen, and the role travel can play in that. It’s a reminder that we’re all evolving as we try to understand what regenerative thinking means for travel and tourism. Eliza describes how global citizenship requires an understanding of our interconnectedness and interdependency with each other and our planet, echoing the living systems principles we have been exploring as we seek to reframe our communities and visitor economy as diverse, living ecosystems. She highlighted the leading role social enterprises can play in this shift to a regenerative model, and also allowed us to explore the responsibility of the traveller to join us in this journey. We’re thrilled to share Eliza’s story, as both a tourism operator and an academic, bridging the gap between research, advocacy, and action. We hope you find much to ponder from the thoughts Eliza shares.

| 08 Aug 2022 | Encouraging Life to Thrive - with Brian Megaw | 00:54:59 | |
It takes courage to reflect on questions about the purpose of our lives, our businesses, and what impact we want to make during our lifetime. Brian Megaw shares openly about his process of learning to notice his shifting engagement with his business and his questioning of the meaning and purpose of his business during the opportunistic pause of the pandemic. He outlines the steps he took and how, together with his family, they have transformed and revitalised River Valley Lodge into a business with holistic management principles at the heart. Brian also cautions against trying to quantify regeneration, but instead suggests we focus on encouraging life, learning to sense the vitality of our place and business through indicators for life. He suggests asking, “Are we encouraging life?” Brian’s story is a promising example of a mindset shift guiding and directing the practical shift needed to move his business in a more regenerative direction.

| 06 Dec 2022 | Tourism’s Interconnectedness: Regenerative Food Systems Part 2 - with Amie Young and Kaai Silbery | 00:49:20 | |
As we continue to explore tourism’s purpose in a VUCA world, and how tourism can add value and capability to other systems, this is the second of three episodes exploring how tourism can support regenerative food systems, local food resiliency, and help shape local food stories. Both guests in this episode work at a systems level - utilising food related stories and experiences to deepen visitors’ connections to place, whilst adding value to local food and biodiversity systems. We speak to Amie Young, Destination Development Manager at Great South, the Regional Development Agency for Southland in New Zealand, who provides a regional perspective on how tourism and food intersect. Amie describes the development of SouthlandNZ’s Food Tourism Strategy that recognises food as a key part of the Southland story. We spoke to Amie about the plan’s goals to strengthen local food networks and support tourism entities in enabling visitors to understand the uniqueness of Southland through food related experiences. We also speak to Kaai Silbery, founder of Go Wild Apiary on the Chatham Islands, who gives us a local food producer and tourism operator perspective of how tourism can support apiculture and biodiversity protection. Kaai is passionate about wild food, endemic plant species, and her bees. She is a beautiful example of how one person can affect change in the systems they are part of by working across sectors and using tourism to tell local stories about the biodiversity and natural ecosystems of her place.

| 15 Jun 2021 | Michelle Holliday - Thrivability & Living Systems Thinking | 00:55:07 | |
In this episode, Josie and Debbie interview Michelle Holliday, author of The Age of Thrivability and international thought leader in living systems principles. We discuss the idea that in a regenerative model, our organisations and communities are dynamic living systems, and therefore the role of tourism is to help create the conditions for these living systems to thrive. If you’ve been following along with us on this journey, this episode will feel like a turning point in our exploration. Michelle invites us into a deeper level of thinking about what regeneration means, encourages bigger and more philosophical questions, and challenges us to acknowledge the presence of life in ourselves, our businesses, and our communities. There is a lot to take in in this episode, so we invite you to take your time with it, ponder it, and acknowledge the enormous mindset shift that this work is offering us.

Trent is driven by the investment in humans as the driver for change in sustainability and he speaks to the power of adventure to help create meaningful memories of place. Trent offers a lot for us to think about in this episode, from designing tourism experiences and models for change at the visitor experience level, the business level, through to the larger tourism ecosystem level. We also discuss the importance of innovating to add value to visitors’ experiences and to the places and communities they visit. This episode highlights a tourism operator who is at the forefront of reimagining tourism in Aotearoa New Zealand, has his values deeply embedded in connection to place and community, and consciously designs deeply memorable experiences for his guests.

| 27 Sep 2022 | Designing the Future of Hospitality - with The Regeneration Collection | 01:12:15 | |
In these urgent times, we need courage and new thinking to explore tourism’s potential to regenerate places. The Regeneration Collection, founded by Christiaan Uittenbosch and Peter Heule in Amsterdam, is an exciting international event for Bachelors students in Hospitality, Conservation & Architecture that focuses on regenerative design for hospitality concepts. A core purpose of The Regeneration Collection is to encourage, support, and stimulate young people to become changemakers. We spoke with Christiaan and the two teams who participated in the 2022 pilot event. The enthusiasm, energy, and fresh ideas these cross-disciplinary teams brought to their design projects is inspiring, in a time when we’re all experimenting and learning together how tourism can support regenerating places and systems. The universities who bravely jumped into this new and experimental event were Toronto Metropolitan University and NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences. We commend their support of this new project and hope more universities globally will join this exciting and innovative programme for 2023 - Deadline to join is November 25th.

In this first episode of GOOD Awaits, Debbie and Josie speak with Anna Pollock, a globally acclaimed thought leader and change catalyst in regenerative tourism. Anna shares how her ideas around emerging and alternative models of tourism have developed, and with her thoughtful wisdom introduces us to what regenerative tourism is, what it is not, and what this paradigm shift could mean for Aotearoa New Zealand. It is an honour to have Anna as our first guest on the podcast, and we hope you find this conversation provocative and enlivening. It’s great to have you with us as we set out on this journey of regenerative tourism in Aotearoa New Zealand.

| 26 Oct 2022 | Destination Management for Regenerative Tourism - Part 2 | 01:15:48 | |
This episode is the second in a two part mini series, with this episode focusing on two regions who share the community engagement processes they’re going through to develop their destination management plans. As destinations globally are starting to think about a regenerative approach to destination management, we’re honoured to share the journey that Aotearoa New Zealand’s 31 Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs) initiated during the pause of the pandemic. At the request of the NZ government, and with the support of government funding, New Zealand’s RTOs have engaged in destination management planning and many have begun the journey towards a regenerative approach to tourism. We speak first with Tim Barke, General Manager at Lake Wanaka Tourism. Tim describes the opportunity tourism has now to ‘get it right’ for future generations and also for the industry to remain viable in the future. Tim encourages everyone to get involved in their community, and he’s leading by example, volunteering for multiple organisations across his community, demonstrating his commitment, both personally and professionally, to his place. We also speak with Tania Burt, General Manager at Northland Inc who describes the importance of taking engagement on the road into communities for a highly localised process that results in more authentic, place-specific feedback from residents. Tania also speaks of how Northland’s destination management plan is a living document, part of a living process, that requires regular reviews and iterations in order to be fully committed to both people and living ecosystems. Tania is deeply involved in her place and stresses the importance that we all work towards net good, “because it’s what the world needs of us right now.”

| 09 Nov 2022 | Technology Innovations in Tourism - with Michael Nees | 00:46:49 | |
As we continue to challenge our current mindset about the definition of tourism, and what it has the potential to be, we seek guests who have boldly taken action in new and exciting directions to explore alternative tourism models. In this episode we talk with Michael Nees, an inbound tour operator who is exploring the possibilities and potential of technology to create innovative and immersive tourism experiences. Michael has developed a range of Virtual Journeys that are so much more than just a video - they are an immersive experience for the senses and the closest thing to really being there. Michael’s infinitely curious nature, his ‘imagine this’ approach and long-term thinking place him as an innovative leader in our sector. Michael shares his concerns for the climate challenges we will face, and our need to be adaptive and resilient. He recognises the urgent need to think differently about tourism models, and has a deep desire not to go back to business as usual, but instead to start shifting his mindset to think about how tourism can be different. He asks how tourism can reduce its carbon footprint, and still serve travellers through immersive storytelling. This episode is not an in depth exploration of the various types of technology (virtual, augmented, extended reality) but rather an invitation for listeners to challenge their perceptions of what tourism is, to take a long-term view of our sector, consider the potential that technological innovations offer tourism, and to open our minds to new ways forward for our sector.

For Episode 9 Josie and Debbie interviewed Mandy Bell, co-owner of Criffel Station and Chairperson and Programme Director of WAI Wanaka. Mandy brings innovative, nature-based, and whole of community approaches to her work, and spoke with us about the opportunities to look beyond tourism and work across sectors when taking a regenerative approach. Mandy is a big picture thinker with ambitious goals for tourism in Aotearoa, but offers practical, actionable examples and ideas in this conversation including models of regenerative practice in action from other sectors and examples of community-driven and nature-based mindset initiatives. This week, our offering is for listeners who have stayed with us throughout this journey, all the way to Episode 9 of GOOD Awaits. You are a part of this transformative movement, and if you want to talk about how we can continue to drive change, please get in touch with us. We need to work together on this if we're going to create the conditions for a regenerative visitor economy to thrive in Aotearoa.

| 31 Aug 2021 | Season Harvest | 00:44:07 | |
In this episode, Debbie and Josie revisit and recap the inspiring conversations with their guests, harvesting a vision for what a regenerative visitor economy could look like in Aotearoa, New Zealand. In this harvest, you'll hear some of our favourite interview fragments from all of our guests, as well as ideas and questions sent in by you, our wonderful listeners.The Harvest is designed to help you digest what we've discussed throughout the season, and as a summary for those who haven't had the time to listen to all 10 episodes. All the guests in this season speak to the urgency and imperative of acknowledging the challenges of an uncertain and complex future. We must face this reality if we’re to be resilient in how we reshape our tourism businesses, industry, and communities. Our collective vision is one in which the wellbeing and thrivability of communities is at the heart of tourism’s purpose. We dream of a visitor economy that fosters deep and meaningful encounters between visitors and hosts, and puts purpose and passion at the forefront. We hope you find much value and inspiration in this collective vision of a reimagined tourism in Aotearoa, New Zealand. If you’re interested in continuing these conversations we invite you to reach out to us and become part of our growing community.

| 10 May 2021 | Introduction: Harvesting the Seeds of Potential | 00:10:22 | |
Welcome to GOOD Awaits - The Regenerative Tourism Podcast
In this introductory episode, meet Debbie Clarke and Josie Major of GOOD Awaits, as they set out on a journey to explore what regenerative tourism looks like in New Zealand.
Debbie and Josie discuss the enormous impact of the global pandemic on New Zealand’s visitor economy, as well as the opportunity it provides to allow us to reconnect and reimagine. They explore the idea of regenerative tourism as a paradigm shift, a complete systems change that can only truly be regenerative if diverse communities come together to embark on this journey collectively.
The GOOD Awaits podcast hopes to create a collective platform of discovery for a new way forward. You are invited to be part of this discovery, to join them in this ongoing practice of asking questions, of listening to each other, of imagining together, of harvesting the stories of this journey of regenerative tourism in NZ.

| 22 Jun 2022 | Storytelling in a VUCA World - with Alina Siegfried and JoAnna Haugen | 01:15:58 | |
"We can’t have a different future if we can’t imagine it first” Whether we’re conscious of it or not, how we live, work, play - and travel - is all informed by the stories we tell ourselves, by the narratives we continue to uphold. We are all storytellers, and the stories we tell and how we tell them matter. Join us in this two part episode on storytelling in a VUCA world. Our guest for part one is Alina Siegfried who guides us in exploring a new story for humanity, and new myths and narratives for a different future that we can all create together. In part two, we’re joined by JoAnna Haugen, master storyteller for tourism, who shares how to craft honest, intentional, complicated, and complex stories that help shift our mindset as we adapt to our changing world.
Join our Linkedin network of likeminded professionals exploring what a regenerative future for tourism can look like. We'd love to see you there and hear your thoughts on this episode.

| 27 Jul 2021 | Lee-Anne Jago - Purpose, Passion and Community | 01:04:41 | |
In this episode, Debbie and Josie interview Lee-Anne Jago, owner of Waka Abel Tasman. Lee-Anne and her husband Todd offer waka experiences in the Abel Tasman within a cultural framework of Maori tikanga and world view. They place their community at the heart of everything they do in their business and are passionate about uplifting rangatahi (young people) and supporting their community to thrive. Our conversation with Lee-Anne is in many ways a summary of the regenerative tourism principles we’ve discussed in previous episodes; demonstrating how tourism can help communities thrive, create deep and meaningful connections, place purpose and passion at the heart of business, and be more resilient and adaptive in this VUCA world. We hope you find much value and inspiration in this example of regenerative tourism. This episode is the final interview for season 1 of the GOOD Awaits podcast. We will be sharing one more episode, an extended reflection with Debbie and Josie to harvest some of the stories and learnings from the podcast. If you would like to contribute to this, please send us your ideas, reflections or questions and we would love to include them in our conversation.

| 13 Jul 2021 | Porina McLeod - Thriving in Collaboration | 00:50:07 | |
In this episode, Debbie and Josie interview Porina McLeod, owner of Mauao Adventures. Mauao Adventures’ core purpose is to connect people with the moana (ocean), the whenua (land) and tangata whenua (local people). Preserving Māori cultural values is important to Porina and these values are woven through every aspect of her business. Porina speaks about her involvement in Te Whānau Tāpoi Māori ō Tauranga Moana, a newly formed Māori tourism collective that demonstrates true collaboration and is an example of living systems principles, bringing diverse individuals together through relationships and structures to form a emergent, thriving collective. Porina’s view of the world, how she operates her business, and Te Whānau Tāpoi Māori ō Tauranga Moana are all examples of living systems thinking and practice. We hope you find much value and inspiration in these examples of regenerative tourism.

| 03 Jan 2023 | Tourism’s Interconnectedness: Regenerative Food Systems - Part 3 with Nate Smith | 00:41:26 | |
In our third episode of three exploring how tourism can support regenerative food systems, we’re thrilled to bring you our conversation with Nate Smith of Gravity Fishing, a man who is a force of nature! Nate was concerned that no one else was doing anything about the extractive fishing industry in Aotearoa and took action to transform the industry, while also using food tourism to reconnect his guests with nature.
Nate speaks to many of the topics we’ve discussed this second season of GOOD Awaits: the power of stories in reshaping our guiding narrative, returning to old ways of knowing, connecting to place through food, educating guests by reconnecting them with the wild, redefining growth, using technology in new and innovative ways, thinking and acting at a systems level, and perhaps most importantly, believing that ‘a small guy’ can change a whole system.
We can all be inspired by Nate, and ask ourselves, “What won’t happen if you don’t step up and do it?”
