How sport can support regenerative tourism

Sport-related travel may only account for an estimated 1.5% of global carbon emissions, but its impact is significant – particularly in regions already affected by mass tourism and environmental stress. 

In this episode, we explore how sports organisations can engage with regenerative tourism, a model focused on restoring ecosystems, supporting local communities and improving resilience.

Our guest is Ana Agostinho, sustainability lead at Westbrook Racing, part of the E1 electric powerboat series. She discusses how sports events could align with regenerative development goals and help shape more sustainable travel experiences – through initiatives like rewilding, cultural exchange and stronger partnerships with host destinations.
