Excellent training opportunities with the sectors’ specialists at affordable prices

Reaching the destination on a path of learning – it is the journey that counts

I am thrilled to share with you today two professional and personal development opportunities that can and will enhance your present and future career prospects.

The first training opportunity is offered to you by Moyo Training Foundation in collaboration with Earthvoice. It is the first of this kind and reach, high-value and practical nature-based tourism course that you can presently access and benefit from in Europe.

Training facts:

What: Nature Positive Tourism, NPT practical in-person training

Where: Abruzzo National Park, the Apennines Mountains, Italy

When: start 10th- end 14th June 2024

Is rewilding and nature conservation close to your heart? Are you ready to upgrade your knowledge and progress to a higher level of know-how in the field of nature positive and regenerative tourism? If you answered – YES - to all these questions, then read on.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or someone just about to launch their career in the sustainable travel and tourism and nature conservation sectors, or make that all important career switch into nature-based activity, this fully-immersive, practical training may just be your best career decision and investment ever! Are you are ready to challenge yourself, acquire new perspectives, fill the knowledge gaps and expand your understanding whilst putting your own knowledge to the test? Then, this walking mentorship and nature-based tourism training is for you. 

It is a visceral adventure! As you meet, sit down and interact in person with sustainable tourism providers that walk the nature talk, you get a rare insight into their sustainable life and work worlds and directly see, hear, feel and taste for yourself what that really means in practical terms. All of this is done in a natural and social setting, as you mingle with positive and driven people, with varying levels of experience and backgrounds, whilst savouring hearty, locally sourced delicious Italian food. What not to love?! 

Hence, the learning in nature with Moyo trainers, for many of their participants, is more than yet another skin-deep tourism training. On the contrary, this is a deep dive into the most progressive nature-based tourism models with exciting up close and personal encounters. What's more, it is a unique chance to see how sustainable tourism, that uplifts communities and nature simultaneously, is enacted well. Every aspect of this training is re-generative: you regenerate yourself as you physically scale those lush and sunny slopes of the spectacular and breathtaking Apennines, feeling recharged and ready to re-generate your own thinking to generate excellent workable ideas that can serve you well and those you work with. You can then take this experience and knowledge that emerges from the training and use it to guide yourself and your own present or future good-for-nature-and-climate business, whatever it is.

This, so far, has proven to be an invaluable experience and professional development investment for many of their diverse participants who truly appreciated this vocationally-oriented training.

Why? It allowed them to consolidate and integrate all the strands of their own expectations, understanding and know-how they had brought with them to the 5-day intense experience on the mountain trails. You delve deep into issues and opportunities that people like you face and solve through working in synergy with organisations, start-ups and SMEs that all contribute and make the conservation and rewilding of natural (protected) areas possible.

For a participant, seeing how he or she can become a valued player and contributor to a big picture and how their activity, project or business can fit meaningfully and thrive within this complex ecosystem, is a wholly eye-opening and transformative experience for them. But don't just take my word for it, read and listen to many of the excellent testimonies that happy past participants left after they completed the program.

Why is this course so highly effective, both for you and the wider community?

This is because when you are with the trainers and fellow participants in nature, you learn with all your senses, beyond your cognitive understanding. As you assimilate the real life nature-tourism examples combined with other information input your mind receives, you intuit your own answers by employing all your faculties. This allows you to develop the full potential of your own idea, or see your idea or your business with fresh, better-informed eyes. And this consequently will lead to the realisation of whatever project it is you are developing in a far more effective way. This walking immersion in nature becomes a process whereby you, supported and guided by your experienced mentors, become an active creator and visionary, better positioned to answer many questions that come up when we engage with nature-based tourism.  

Horizon thinking – how to accelerate our nature-based tourism know-how

Horizon thinking is looking to the future, and innovating from that perspective

  Nature is our best ally and teacher – as she guides us to be the best versions of ourselves and strive to achieve our full potential. Being equipped with a profoundly deep understanding of the ecological restoration and regeneration in the context of sustainable, community-led tourism, it does this in the way that is compatible and aligned with the Earth's needs, her biodiverse though challenged ecosystems and the climate. Natural classroom we find is the best, optimal way to receive such training that centres and revolves around nature and for you to unlock your full body-mind learning potential. You learn from and with nature. The trainers are there to facilitate this process by guiding you on your path to becoming better versed in what exactly nature positive tourism is, in practice. While you, and other course participants, traverse both the physical and mental landscapes, walking shoulder to shoulder and face to face, you relate, envision and create together. You can then translate this newly gained knowledge and continue on enacting the innovative approaches, methods and tools that you have learned during the training in your own ventures.

Regenerative tourism – good for natural areas and the resident and business community nestled in them and beyond

Furthermore, as the originator of a regeneration model for the environment, community and sustainable economy and a regenerative coach, I am particularly encouraged by the fact that this training leaves the community you visit better off than when you found it. Simply because the percentage of every training's cost stays in the community by directly sustaining their ecological restoration efforts.

So come and discover this emergent nature-centric approach for yourself! Make friends for life and join a growing community of authentic, nature positive and regenerative travel and tourism leaders in your own neck of the woods. But, hurry as spaces are limited, and this special discount OFFER is valid till the 15th April!
