We turn your local tourism value chain into a unified force for climate action and inclusive wealth.
3. Regenerative Leadership & Learning Hub
Global Collaboration for Local Change
Join a peer-to-peer network of vanguard mayors and destination leaders. This hub provides continuous access to global best practices, validated regenerative case studies, and deep-dive learning on restoring biodiversity. Elevate your leadership capacity and gain recognition as a champion of the 3Rs (Regeneration, Resilience, Reverence).
Impact Legacy Imprints™
The Global Standard for Verified Regenerative Reality.
Distinguish your destination from the noise. In an industry flooded with theoretical promises, IART stands alone with a proprietary, practices-based framework that validates real-world change. We do not just certify intentions; we verify results.

Governance Vanguards
Bago City – Philippines
The Climate-Smart Agro-Ecology Model
From Vulnerability to Food Security. While others fear climate scarcity, Bago City operationalized resilience. By shifting from conventional farming to regenerative agro-ecology, they didn’t just protect their title as the “Rice Granary”—they secured a food-sovereign future for their people. This is the Regeneration of Land in action: restoring soil health to future-proof the local economy against global shocks.
Is your region food-secure for 2030? See how Bago did it.
Sagay City – Philippines
The Blue Economy Restoration Model
From Extraction to Abundance. Sagay City reversed the narrative of destruction. Once decimated by overfishing, the Sagay Marine Reserve now stands as a global masterclass in community-led marine regeneration. They didn’t just conserve; they empowered fisherfolk to become the guardians of the reef, creating a circular “Blue Economy” where biodiversity drives prosperity.
Turn your coastal challenges into your greatest economic asset.
Sipalay City, Philippines
The Blue Economy Restoration Model
Defying Extraction, Choosing Life. Once defined by copper mining and environmental degradation, Sipalay City executed a radical economic pivot. They transformed a vulnerability into a shield by establishing the Green Belt Eco Park—an 18-hectare beach forest that literally saved the city from Super Typhoon Odette. This is Regenerative Defense in action: proving that restoring nature provides stronger security than concrete, turning a former mining ground into a carbon-sequestering sanctuary.
Leadership requires courage. Learn how to pivot your economy from extraction to regeneration.
Gangwon State, South Korea
The Living Wellness Model
From Seasonal Ski-Hub to Year-Round Vitality. Gangwon proved that wellness is an economic engine, not just a concept. Under the direct mentorship of IART’s Founder (appointed Wellness Adviser in 2022), the province moved beyond theory to bring to life its “Hyang” philosophy as a resilient regenerative system. This hands-on transformation built a year-round Wellness Economy that heals both people and place—directly securing their victory of a prestigious global award.
Expert guidance turns local philosophy into global victory. See the framework that won the award.
