Regenebike \u00b7 Regenerative Impact Observatory \u00b7 Proprietary Methodology v1.1 \u00b7 Published 10 June 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n

Much has been written about \u00absustainable tourism\u00bb. The emphasis, for a long time, has been on measuring it by a single indicator: the kilogrammes of CO\u2082<\/strong>. This measurement is objective, but clearly insufficient. At Regenebike, we have built a tool to measure all of this more accurately. We are now publishing it openly.<\/p>\n

What is the Regenerative Impact Observatory<\/h3>\n

It's a methodology used to score the real impact of the routes we offer. With an index ranging from 0 to 100, we weight six dimensions. It's not a marketing label or promise: they are simple but well-founded indicators, with weights and classification bands. We currently use it successfully, but we will continue to improve and refine it.<\/p>\n

The six dimensions (with their weight)<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Environment \u2014 25%:<\/strong> Net CO\u2082 avoided, renewable energy, water, and waste.<\/li>\n
  • Social \u2014 20%:<\/strong> local spending, employment and community interaction.<\/li>\n
  • Travellers' wellbeing \u2014 20%:<\/strong> Nature, rest, and physical and mental health.<\/li>\n
  • Culture \u2014 15%:<\/strong> heritage, local histories and cultural exchange.<\/li>\n
  • Personal transformation \u2014 10%:<\/strong> learning, habit change and intention to act.<\/li>\n
  • Regenerative economics \u2014 10%:<\/strong> Regenerative investment and retained value in the territory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Regenerative Index (0-100)<\/h3>\n

    Each cycling route is given a score and a classification: Non-Regenerative (<30) \u00b7 Minimal Impact (30-44) \u00b7 Sustainable (45-59) \u00b7 Sustainable+ (60-74) \u00b7 Regenerative (75-89) \u00b7 Highly Regenerative (\u226590).<\/p>\n

    What sets us apart<\/h3>\n

    We are focusing on having a very holistic and multidimensional<\/strong>. This is why we integrate the measurement of two variables at a personal level that are normally excluded from other similar indices: the well-being and personal transformation of the traveller<\/strong>. We believe that regenerative tourism not only repairs the spaces visited and local communities, but also cares for and repairs the traveller. Travel is really about that, not just about CO\u2082.<\/p>\n

    Why do we publish it openly?<\/h3>\n

    Our way of understanding cycle tourism tells us that any index that is not open is another way of Greenwashing<\/strong>. That\u2019s why we\u2019re sharing it, in the hope that it will serve as a basis for anyone who genuinely wants to be transparent and measure the impact of a trip in a serious way. And, to be honest, this calculation tool we\u2019re presenting today has room for improvement. We\u2019re working on that: some of the variables are provided by each tour operator, and our aim is to automate this to improve objectivity \u2014 even though we know that quantification isn\u2019t always 100% possible.<\/p>\n

    And so, this presentation is also a Call to action<\/strong>: If you work in impact measurement, regenerative tourism or territorial policies, write to us. We want to contrast and improve it with you.<\/p>\n
