Enabling regenerative tourism in NYC
A better way to explore your favorite city
In a world where moments are fleeting and selfies outweigh the experience of making memories - can tourism focus on positive social and environmental impact to radically improve local communities? The brief was to create a strategic design intervention, that would harness the power of regenerative tourism to improve the experience of people who wish to explore New York City.
This project was carried out at Parsons School of Design and carried out in collaboration with Reem Alwajeeh.
