The SUGITA Model: Digitally Enabled Regenerative Sacred Heritage Governance
This research article introduces the SUGITA Model, a novel framework designed to transition sacred heritage tourism from traditional promotion to regenerative governance. By focusing on Tegallinggah Temple in Bali, the authors demonstrate how digital technology can serve as a critical infrastructure for regulating visitor behaviour and preserving spiritual integrity rather than just marketing destinations. The study identifies traditional villages and sacred-site standards as the primary structural drivers necessary to restore ecological and cultural systems. Using Interpretive Structural Modeling, the researchers highlight that addressing constraints like limited historical documentation and the lack of official platforms is essential for community-led stewardship. Ultimately, the SUGITA framework offers an adaptable path for destinations to balance global sustainability goals with the protection of local cultural values.

The Regenerative Lens for Rural Tourism Transitions
This 2026 academic study investigates how the Sierra del Rincón Biosphere Reserve in Spain can transition from conventional sustainability to a regenerative tourism model. By employing participatory action research and the Three Horizons framework, the authors collaborate with local stakeholders to diagnose current socio-ecological tensions and co-create future aspirations. The research applies the Regenerative Lens to evaluate the territory across five core qualities: ecological worldview, mutuality, diversity, agency, and reflexivity. Findings suggest that while the region possesses high ecological and cultural capital, its primary obstacles are relational, specifically a lack of collective governance and shared leadership. Ultimately, the article argues that regenerative transitions in rural areas depend less on material assets and more on the community's capacity to act and govern together.

Regenerative Tourism Dashboards and Operational Intelligence
This text explores the transition of the tourismindustry from a sustainability model focused on damage control to aregenerative paradigm that actively restores social and ecological systems. Theauthors argue that traditional business intelligence is no longer sufficient,necessitating a shift toward operational intelligence and more dynamic dataarchitecture. By evaluating Spanish management models like SICTED, DTI, andINSTO, the research highlights how current measurement tools often fail tocapture the complex, living nature of modern destinations. To achieve truetransformation, the text advocates for interactive dashboards that integratereal-time data with qualitative social indicators and citizen participation.Ultimately, these technological advancements are presented as vital instrumentsfor collaborative governance and the long-term revitalisation of tourismterritories.
