25.01.2022 Giving a shout out to Fanimal for their work! Fanimal is a socially-minded organization and their mission is to inform and mobilize animal lovers toward improving the lives of animals. This program supports 16-28 year olds to decide whether a career with animals is for them!

24.01.2022 Very lucky to spend so much time with Anna Pollock talking regenerative tourism at Binna Burra. What would a partnership between Conscious Travel and the Tourism CoLab look like? Watch this space! #ConsciousTravel #TourismColab #regenerativetourism #purpose

23.01.2022 I've been taking a holiday from social media for the last couple of weeks because it's been 'doing my head in'. But I have finally found the words to explain why we need more than "solutions" posts...We need a new way of working and new governance frameworks. https://www.linkedin.com//why-heres-solution-posts-dianne- #tourismmatters #Tourism #visitoreconomies #Governance #postcovid19 #tourismfutures #destinationmanagement #TourismAustralia #TEQ #newnormal #innovation #designthinking #TourismColab

18.01.2022 Recovery requires a multi-pronged approach. Short-term and long-term initiatives. Marketing and community-building. Business ecosystems need to be reestablished. Confidence and hope to be restored. Recasting how we think of the future (not just a projection of the past), climate change, resilience, and what we value should be part of the discussion. This could be very rewarding times...

16.01.2022 The Tourism CoLab is honoured and delighted to PAL up with Binna Burra, one of the most iconic Queensland ecotourism experiences to help in the recovery process! Stay tuned

16.01.2022 To top off an awesome week, happy to accept the task of co-chairing the scientific committee assisting research efforts to #bringbackbinnaburra. Im working alongside the illustrious Prof Roger Kitching in helping to shape, curate and empower research in the social and natural sciences to help tell the story of #BinnaBurra and #lamingtonnp and surrounds. Steve Noakes what a leader!

14.01.2022 Interesting conversations about big ideas in tourism to be had on the mountain. Beechmont and Binna Burra give us a window into what resilience, vision and future thinking is all about. #binnaburralodge #bringbackbinnaburra #headmasterscafe

14.01.2022 Now more than ever design thinking is key in navigating the future of #tourism. Design thinking focuses on delivering #stakeholdercentred outcomes through #collaborative journeys of learning, #empathybuilding, #codesign and #experimentation. Yes, it's important to address immediate challenges, but we also need to design the future of our #visitoreconomies. Design thinking is used in so many areas and industries - transport, industry, policy, social services, health, insurance, technology, retail and planning. It's used in big business and startups with huge success, but it's still not common in #tourismSMEs or #destinations. The Tourism CoLab is offering an introductory course starting 19th August that explores design thinking and how we can leverage and apply it in tourism. SIgn up here for more information. https://buff.ly/2CA0d9X

12.01.2022 Pretty excited to be hosting Anna Pollock - 9th March!

12.01.2022 Tourism - the activity, the sector, the industry, the relationships, the business, the resources and assets on which it is based - is dramatically changing day-by-day at the moment. When I completed my contribution (Chapter 2) to the OECD's flagship document 6 weeks ago, who could have imagined where we would be today. But digitalisation is profoundly important in how we imagine and build the tourism of the future. Recovery and re-envisioning tourism must include digitalisation. #OECD #TourismColab #Digitalisation #tourismtrends #tourismpolicy #futuretourism

11.01.2022 Now is the time to think about a regenerative future for tourism and visitor economies. Bailouts and rescue packages for tourism are being discussed but we need to think carefully about what kind of future we want and what incentives and directions are needed to get us there. Design Thinking has huge potential as a creative thinking, user-centred, action-oriented means of ideating and exploring the future of tourism. Based on 7 drivers of change (metatrends) discussed previously, here are 7 design challenges to think about. #regenerativetourism #tourismcolab #designthinking #TourismFutures #collaborativelearning #tourism #innovation #visitoreconomy

11.01.2022 Anna Pollock has arrived!! Looking forward to this conversation with Anna about new directions and actions for tourism. Be part of the conversation! Tickets on Eventbrite.

But what does this look like for tourism and visitor economies? Join us as Dianne Dredge, founder of The Tourism CoLab and recent associate at Federation University Australia, argues that we need big ideas in tourism, now more than ever.

07.01.2022 There are five pillars of Queensland's visitor economy, and #BinnaBurra offers three: Natural Encounters; Adventure & Discovery; Lifestyle, Culture and People.

07.01.2022 Last week Commerce Ballarat and Federation University gave the Tourism CoLab the opportunity to share some big ideas in tourism and specific cases where these ideas have been interpreted and put into practice. They included: - regenerative tourism principles and practices - purpose-led tourism that benefits people, places and the environment - integrating social enterprise in tourism - creating constructive collaborative spaces for nurturing innovative ideas ... - unlocking passion projects within your staff and add value to your business - behavioural and physical approaches to visitor management - defining what success really means in tourism and visitor economies - the confidence to develop a creative, experimental and user-centred mindset From our world travels in a workshop, it's pretty clear that finding the magic sauce to create vibrant, flourishing visitor economies lies in nurturing the creative space, confidence and trusting collaborators to think big. It was a privilege to present to Commerce Ballarat and their members - what an amazingly constructive and creative community! #TourismColab #CommerceBallarat #tourism #visitoreconomies #innovation #FedUni

03.01.2022 An inspiring approach from Hawai'i - a collective grassroots approach to #designing #economicfutures and new operating systems that fosters long term economic sustainability. It's underpinned by 4 guiding principles: - stewarding precious limited resources for long term sustainability and regeneration. - privilege to lead is directly dependent on those they serve. - creativity and innovation, be mindful and observant of needs, trends and opportunities and seek new knowledge. ...- be inclusive and embrace the collective. Looking forward to following and learning from this inspiring and courageous journey! #tourismmatters #tourismforpurpose #regenerativetourism #tourismeducationfutures #regenerativebusinesses #meaningfulwork #nexteconomy
