Abstract
In the current landscape, the development of tourism faces direct impacts from various challenges. Within this context, the shift in perspective proposed by regenerative tourism emerges as a compelling alternative, demonstrating clear benefits in restoring and revitalizing affected ecosystems and local communities. However, its theoretical and conceptual framework remains underdeveloped, hindering a comprehensive understanding. This raises critical questions: ¿What exactly constitutes this change in approach? How should the proposed transformations be interpreted? And why does its implementation appear so complex? Addressing these inquiries, this study aims to identify, examine, and analyze the theoretical foundations that structure and define regenerative tourism, thereby contributing to its comprehension, dissemination, and practical application. Employing a qualitative design, the research explores a series of key topics: perceptual shifts, context-dependency, fractal uniqueness, patterns in living systems, and the tools and interrelationships within an interpretive theoretical framework. By analyzing the mutual relationships among these notions, this work constructs a conceptual framework intended to bolster the theoretical underpinnings that particularize Regenerative Tourism.
