Introducing the Communiversity
The CoLab Communiversity is a membership-based community of practice that supports all those working to transform the way we travel, host and experience place. Our Communiversity is a social enterprise and our purpose is to create an alternative third space for learning and practice that is inclusive, thoughtful and directed at activating hosting economies as if nature, people and places mattered.
☑️ A networked global community where the boundaries between learning and practice dissolve.
☑️ An interdisciplinary space where the focus is not on tourism but how tourism can contribute to regenerative places, communities and economies.
☑️ A pocket-sized university available on your phone, anywhere, anytime.
☑️ Grounded in genuine thought leadership, experimental action and generous collaboration.
☑️ A place that offers diverse learning experiences, coaching, mentoring and genuine discussion about the change ahead and how to build resilience.
Generous Collaboration
It just makes plain good business sense to pause and re-design tourism for the future. Working between place-making, community wealth-building and redesigning our economic systems, the CoLab has a unique vantage point and understanding of both the challenges and the potential of place. The Communiversity allows you to access and explore these alternative ways of working.
Redesigning tourism means changing our perspective, dissolving the silos and connecting it with what is really going on inside and, importantly, outside tourism. The future of your business, your community, and your organisation depends on it.
In the Communiversity, we share how to [un]think and [re]imagine the art of hosting and experiencing place. We help to reframe business models and build community wealth. We give you skills in how to unlock ways of thinking and doing differently as if people, place and nature mattered. We experiment and co-develop actions that are responsive to local conditions. We've also created new scalable approaches and ways of working so that tourism can deliver for places, business ecosystems, people and nature.
Our Community of Practice holds space for those interested in exploring new ideas, alternative approaches and new thinking.

Do you have a community you would like to invite into our collaborative co-learning space?
Why is bringing my community a good idea?
As environmental planners and community builders, building connection, social capital and activating change together is in our DNA. The communiversity is a place to globally connect with other change makers working at the nexus between place, regenerative development and hosting economies. Our capacity to adapt and build resilience for the change ahead demands that we work at a place-based, community-empowered level. The future flourishing of our communities, as great places to live and visit, relies on it!
So why not create a collaborative co-working space in the Communiversity?
What does it involve?
Working with you, we can design and curate a safe community space where you can connect, learn and build strategies together. At the same time, you can engage with the global community of members who all bring their unique experience and knowledge to the conversations, events and courses we offer. The connections our community members make can profoundly uplift their journeys.
Community membership allows your business, place, professional network, or community group to come together with other communities on a journey of discovery, experimentation and activation. Our coaches and mentors can guide you through a co-designed journey, facilitating your learning and leadership.
How does it work?

Why a Membership Community?
The Tourism CoLab is a social enterprise. Our purpose is to deliver inclusive and accessible learning opportunities and access to a safe change making community. Any profits generated are reinvested back into delivering our purpose through the Communiversity platform.
We Are Independent
We are proudly independent. We like it that way because we deliver real, thoughtful and context appropriate actions. No templates or toolkits here. We create a space for creative thinking and learning. We scale through learning, experimenting and sharing. We have the freedom to create and optimise collaborative spaces and dissolve the silos that keep us locked into old ways of working.

Regenerosity Payment Options and Low Income Countries
We seek to be as inclusive as possible in our membership while also raising funds to cover platform costs. We understand that not everyone is in a place to be able to pay the membership fee and that capacity to pay can change as we change jobs or seek new pathways. We do not want your capacity to pay to be a barrier. We also believe that what you can bring to the Communiversity might enrich us all!
For this reason, and in the spirit of regenerosity, we offer you an option to pay what you can for 12 months.
Contact us if you are a social enterprise, community collective or not-for-profit to discuss your needs. If you live in a low income or lower-middle income country as identified by the World Bank and would like to join the CoLab Communiversity, choose an option or contact us to discuss.
Pay it Forward
There are also folk who love what we do, and are in a space to pay it forward. This means so much to us! So if you are doing well, and would like to pay it forward, we offer you the opportunity to buy a membership for someone who can't afford it right now. We will follow up with the details!
