We envision tourism and hospitality as catalysts for a profound, global paradigm shift: one where every destination is recognized as a vital part of an intelligent and interconnected web of life that sustains us all. We are calling in practitioners, enthusiasts, and leaders in the field of regenerative tourism. From November 5-7th, 2026, we will be hosting an (un)Summit on Camiguin Island, Philippines.
Forget the standard conference format. This is a three-day, place-based exploration where we move from talking the talk to walking the walk. We are gathering 100 practitioners, local community members, and global changemakers to share experience and creativity. Together, we aim to craft solutions as a locally grounded and globally connected community.
Co-hosted by 7Generations, the Camiguin Provincial Tourism Office, Camiguin Polytechnic State College, & Camiguin Tourism Association, the (un)Summit offers a place-based exploration of regenerative practice through mutual learning, project visits, and solution co-creation.

WHY CAMIGUIN?
Camiguin is a pristine volcanic island in the Philippines, with a rich ecosystem and a historical culture of environmental stewardship. Barely touched by mass tourism, the island stands at a pivotal moment: local communities and tourism actors are increasingly looking for models that support livelihoods without compromising their homes. Hence, the time is ripe for a regenerative approach to tourism to take hold and grow roots.
7Generations Philippines, based at Malambo Ocean Lodge, has set out to support this transition and to give impulses for Camiguin to become a model island of regenerative tourism. Working alongside the Camiguin Provincial Tourism Office, Camiguin Polytechnic State College, Camiguin Tourism Association, and local communities, we dream of the island becoming a living laboratory for regenerative tourism. We are not just discussing theories; we are actively designing and realizing projects that contribute to the regeneration of people and place.
Can a small volcanic island of 100,000 spark a broader regenerative transformation? We believe so, yes!
