This research explores innovative approaches to sustainable tourism infrastructure and design through a series of case studies focusing on regenerative accommodation and facilities. With the growing recognition of the importance of sustainability in the tourism industry, there is a pressing need to develop infrastructure that not only minimizes negative impacts but also actively contributes to environmental restoration, socio-cultural preservation, and economic prosperity. Regenerative accommodation and facilities represent a cutting-edge approach to sustainable tourism development, integrating innovative technologies, nature-based design principles, and community engagement strategies to create destinations that are not just sustainable but actively contribute to the regeneration of ecosystems, cultures, and economies. Through an in-depth analysis of real-world examples from diverse geographic regions and cultural contexts, this research aims to identify emerging trends, best practices, and lessons learned in the development of regenerative tourism destinations. The case studies showcase a variety of innovative strategies and techniques, including low-impact architecture, energy-efficient technologies, biodiversity conservation initiatives, and community-based tourism models. By examining the successes and challenges of these projects, this research seeks to inform policymakers, practitioners, and researchers about the potential of regenerative tourism to drive positive change in the tourism industry and contribute to the achievement of broader sustainability goals. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable tourism infrastructure and design, offering valuable insights into the practical applications of regenerative principles in tourism development. By highlighting the successes and lessons learned from these case studies, this research aims to inspire and guide future efforts to create destinations that not only attract visitors but also enhance the well-being of host communities and the natural environment.

Delving into the historical evolution and current landscape of the sector, this chapter discusses how digital technologies have transformed India's tea tourism locations. In order to understand the unique setting of tea tourism in India, it is necessary to first have a grasp of the worldwide trend towards digital transformation in the tourism industry, which is covered extensively in the literature study. This chapter primarily aims to improve tea tourist experiences by examining the function of different digital technologies. The creation of mobile apps specifically for tea tourism, familiarity with internet presence and marketing tactics, and the incorporation of virtual and augmented reality tours are all part of this. A closer look at how these technologies have altered the tourist experience is provided, with a focus on how they have contributed to sustainable tourism practices, made experiences more accessible, and fostered more personalised participation. The chapter recognises that there are still obstacles, such as a lack of infrastructure and reluctance to adopt new technologies, even though there have been beneficial results. Furthermore, it considers what's to come in terms of technology and how it may affect the tea tourist industry.
