Why does regenerative tourism continue to struggle to attract investment?

SAPO15 September 2026 at 08:10

Global impact investment exceeded 1.4 trillion euros in assets in 2023. This type of investment applies capital to projects and companies with the aim of generating, in addition to financial returns, measurable social or environmental benefits.

Despite the significant growth of this sector, regenerative tourism continues to be left out of this capital. Regenerative tourism seeks to make tourism activity a force for the recovery of territories, going beyond simply reducing negative impacts.

This form of tourism is distinguished by attempting to restore and revitalize tourist destinations, in contrast to more traditional approaches that focus only on damage mitigation. However, impact investors do not seem to be channeling funds to this area, even as the global responsible investment market continues to expand.

Why this matters

This issue is relevant for readers in tourist territories that could benefit from more sustainable development models. The article indicates that, despite the global increase in impact investment, regenerative tourism is not succeeding in attracting these funds, which suggests a gap between capital availability and this specific sector's ability to mobilize it.

Mesmo que salário mínimo no Estado subisse para 1.030 euros em 2027 seria “curto”, afirma FesapPhoto by 19661338 on Pexels

Even if the minimum wage in the State rose to 1,030 euros in 2027 it would be "short", says Fesap

The Federation of Public Administration Trade Unions (Fesap) argues that the remuneration base in the public sector should increase beyond 1,030 euros in 2027, considering that this value would still be "short" given workers' needs. General secretary José Abraão argues that the pluriannual agreement in force, which provides for increases of 2.3% (rising from 934.99 to 995.51 euros), was signed in a different economic context and that inflation, potentially above 3%, is causing losses in purchasing power. Fesap will present its claims document for the 2027 State Budget at today's press conference in Lisbon, demanding increases beyond those provided for in the current agreement.
