Regenerative Tourism Grant Program

Tourism Richmond is committed to building a visitor economy that benefits our community on every level. We are aiming to ensure regenerative tourism has the maximum positive impact throughout our city, we are also dedicated to helping local businesses and organizations that want to participate in this dynamic new approach.

Joining the city’s regenerative tourism drive will help your operation move to a healthy, sustainable future. And it will enable you to support and nurture our shared community, and potentially provide opportunities as the travel industry demands more regenerative action. The result? You’ll directly benefit from a productive, fully thriving visitor economy. And Richmond will enjoy the widespread fruits of a strong and more vibrant society.

Regenerative tourism is an approach to travel and recreation that emphasizes the restoration, preservation, and enhancement of both natural environments and local communities. Unlike traditional tourism, where the focus is primarily on personal enjoyment, regenerative tourism encourages travelers and businesses to actively contribute to the well-being of the destination.

The Regenerative Tourism Grant Program has been established to support the growth of sustainable initiatives in Richmond. This program aims to provide financial assistance to Tourism Richmond Partners for implementing regenerative programs and/or actions in their businesses.
