PurposeThe study aims to investigate how tourism actors' methodologies fuel the development of regenerative activities anchored in the reciprocity of nature and humans directed at bringing well-being for all living beings.Design/methodology/approachTo shed light on micro-scale regenerative creation processes in tourism, the authors engage in co-creative case study research with the owners of a small value-driven tourism firm in Arctic Norway in their creation of activities that strengthen the human–nature relation.FindingsThe authors found that the values of the tourism firm's owners constitute the soul creating regenerative activities based on the reciprocity of soil and society. Thus, the authors posit that soil, soul and society are at the core of developing regenerative tourism activities. A key finding identified is that it is challenging for small eco-centric driven firms to co-create regenerative tourism activities within a capitalocentric system. For regenerative activities to become regenerative tourism practices, multiple actors across levels of operations must act as responsible gardeners.Originality/valueThe study extends current literature on regenerative tourism by providing in-depth insights into the methodology, illustrated through soil, soul and society, guiding one small tourism firm's development of regenerative tourism activities and what drives these processes. The study also contributes knowledge that broadens the use of well-being in tourism to better address current capitalocentric challenges limiting the development of regenerative practices.

This paper explores the opinions of people subsisting on inshore resources toward fishing rights. The empirical setting is a series of public hearings organized by a government-appointed committee charged with investigating inshore fishing rights in northern Norway. The investigation originated in the Sami struggle to secure rights also to marine waters. The hearings provided local inhabitants -included those of non-Sami origin -with an opportunity to voice their concerns. The paper thus provides insights into the perceptions of people living in ethnically mixed areas of fishing rights and the challenges arising from implementing indigenous rights. The author concludes that governance needs to include stakeholders' different perspectives' on fishing rights. The fisheries management could benefit from having a legal pluralist approach which makes it sensitive to local fisheries technical and cultural differences.
