How do we make tourism more sustainable, regenerative, equitable, inclusive, or community-led?

How do we prevent tourism-induced harms such as those resulting from overtourism and cultural commodification?

Our University of Melbourne postgraduate intern Yilan Li explores how tourism degrowth might lead to better experiences and outcomes for travelers, hosts, and the environment.

As Yilan notes, 'Tourism is not merely an industry, but a ‘social force’ that includes environmental conditions, economic structures, and social relations... [and] ... degrowth in tourism is not simply about reducing volume, rather it involves a rethinking of how the industry operates and could operate more effectively.'

We need to shift away from treating places, cultures, and nature as products to be consumed, towards rethinking tourism as a form of connection.

The Cape to Cape Track takes students through some of Western Australia’s most striking coastal landscapes, from the cliffs of Cape Naturaliste and the beaches around Yallingup to the towering karri forests of Boranup and the iconic Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse.

Designed for school groups and ideal for Duke of Edinburgh programs, the journey combines multi-day hiking, camping and outdoor learning in a fully supported environment. All hiking, camping and safety equipment is provided, allowing teachers to focus on the experience while students build confidence, resilience and stronger connections with one another.

If you’re researching ideas for your next school trip or outdoor education program, the Cape to Cape Track is well worth exploring. Learn more here: https://infusetravel.com.au/programs/cape-to-cape-track/

Thank you to the Year 7s and wonderful staff from Fintona Girls' School for a truly memorable immersion in Central Australia.

National Volunteer Week is a great reminder that your community is full of ways to make a difference!

For young people, there are many welcoming places to start. Organisations like Surf Life Saving Australia and St John Ambulance Australia offer supportive pathways to learn skills and get involved.

Groups like State Emergency (SES) and Conservation Volunteers Australia create hands-on opportunities to contribute to the places and environments around you. And organisations like RSPCA Australia offer simple, meaningful ways to care for animals in need.

You don’t need experience to begin. Just curiosity, a bit of time, and the willingness to get involved!

Choosing a school travel provider is no small decision.

When student safety, wellbeing and educational outcomes are involved, it makes sense to take a considered, thoughtful approach.

In our work alongside schools, we’re often asked what to look for when evaluating different programs. So we’ve brought those conversations together into a practical resource: https://infusetravel.com.au/experiential-learning-provider-best-practice-checklist/

It’s a simple checklist to help guide decision-making. It covers areas like duty of care, curriculum alignment, cultural integrity, and how learning is supported before, during and after the experience.

Our hope is that it gives educators a clearer framework to ask the right questions and feel confident in whichever path they choose.

If you’re currently exploring options for your students, it may be a helpful place to start. We’d also be interested to hear what you prioritise when selecting a program!

Konnichiwa! 🇯🇵🌸 We recently touched down from Japan, wrapping up our rural cultural immersion with Nowra High School.

From the electric atmosphere of Fukuoka to the peaceful ancient trails of the Kunisaki Peninsula, we put on our backpacks, stepped out of our comfort zones and into remote Japan.

Over 9 days, we immersed ourselves in traditional Japanese life, staying in local homestays, trying our hand at traditional crafts like ikebana and assisting with sustainable farming projects.

What an experience! ⛩️🍜 🥾
