Tourism is vital to Cornwall - supporting jobs, local businesses, and community life – yet it also places real pressure on fragile coastal landscapes and local infrastructure. So how can tourism continue to bring benefits without undermining the very places people come to enjoy?
In this engaging and accessible TREGTALK, Dr Anna Spenceley explores what sustainable and regenerative tourism means in practice, and what it could look like for our communities.
Drawing on her global experience, Anna examines how travel can actively support nature recovery, strengthen communities, and protect cultural and environmental heritage.
The talk balances big-picture thinking with practical insights, inviting audiences to rethink what it means to be a visitor – shifting from passive consumption to meaningful connection.
There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.
This talk is ideal for all who love Cornwall, care about the future of travel, or are simply curious about how tourism can become a genuine force for good.
About the speaker: Anna is one of the world’s leading voices on sustainable tourism. She is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and sits on the UN World Tourism Organisation’s Panel of Experts. Now based on the Roseland with her family, she volunteers with REACT and other local conservation groups, bringing global expertise to a topic that matters deeply at home.
