transcend 2050 initiative

At the heart of the "Transcend 2050 Initiative," powered by the Transformational Travel Council, lies a visionary transformation. This initiative reimagines travel and tourism, steering it towards global environmental and economic sustainability.

inaugural circle

We’re looking for a select group of 8-10 visionary leaders to unite and address the climate crisis's impact on travel and tourism. They emphasize the need for an economic transformation by 2050, focusing on carbon neutrality and going beyond sustainability.

This Inaugural Circle will drive the Transcend 2050 Initiative, igniting a vital shift. Through transformative methods, they will lead the way to regenerative destinations, innovative designs, measurable metrics, and a commitment to well-being and the planet.

the transformative shift

The Inaugural Circle is the cornerstone of our journey, forged through the intellectual backbone of the research and education methods of the Transformational Travel Council.

Event Dates: The Inaugural Circle will commence in 2025 - Taking Applications Now!

Methodology: We will utilize our transformative learning approach combined with a regenerative community development strategy.

Objective: The primary aim of this inaugural circle is to meticulously examine the structure and metrics while laying the foundation for an integrative model built on the foundational thought-leading methods and experiences of the TTC. 

Scalable Model: Our goal is to create a fully scalable model that will lead the way for the travel and tourism sector. We will place special emphasis on transitioning into a carbon-neutral economy. Existing metrics will be reviewed, and integrated, and novel metrics will be devised.

Beyond Sustainability: This marks the inception of the Inaugural Circle. Quarterly virtual meetings are anticipated throughout the year, alongside an annual in-person event coinciding with the Inaugural Circle's launch anniversary.

Key Questions: Central to our journey are questions surrounding carbon neutrality and carbon negativity. We will focus on understanding the outcomes of the Transcend 2050 Initiative, charting the path to achieve these goals as individuals and organizations within the travel and tourism sector. Our collective journey will be one of mutual support, empowerment, guidance, and transformative love.

Measuring Success: We will establish clear metrics to gauge our progress and celebrate our successes. Milestones will be identified, and we will use these markers to mark our achievements while embracing the lessons from our failures.

a shifting paradigm

“The Climate Crisis has invited us to forge a different relationship with nature. One that holds the planet and all of it places, ecosystems and species sacred. Not only in our conception and philosophy but in our material relationship. Nothing less will deliver us from the environmental crisis that we face”

— Charles Eisenstein

“By deepening connections between travelers and themselves, others they meet, and the natural world, they expand mindful behaviors and choices on the road and at home.”

— Jake Haupert, TTC CEO and TTI Chairman of the Board

“Regeneration isn’t something you can simply read an article, or even a book about and start “doing” tomorrow. It is, for most of us, a profound shift in being that requires ongoing work within a supportive community.”
