Ennistymon Company, The Tourism Space, Becomes a Global Trailblazer with B Corp Certification Championing Regenerative Tourism

#Traveltradetogether

The Tourism Space, led by visionary founder and CEO Tina O’Dwyer, has achieved the prestigious B Corp Certification, solidifying its position as a global leader in driving meaningful change within the tourism industry. This certification recognises businesses meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. As the tourism industry faces mounting pressure to address its environmental and social impacts, The Tourism Space’s B Corp Certification signals a bold commitment to transforming the sector into a driver of positive change worldwide.

This achievement places The Tourism Space among a select group of international companies that are redefining success in business, putting purpose and sustainability at the heart of their operations. From its headquarters in Ennistymon, Co Clare, the company has become a pioneering voice in regenerative tourism, empowering public sector teams and organisations to nurture resilient communities, thriving ecosystems and healthy economies through bespoke training, facilitation and consultancy.

“Achieving B Corp Certification is more than a badge of honour,” said Tina O’Dwyer “it’s a validation of our mission to place regeneration at the heart of the tourism industry. This moment marks a shift, we’re not just calling for change but proving it’s possible. For us, being part of the B Corp movement isn’t the destination, it’s the next step in our ongoing journey to create meaningful and measurable impact within tourism.”

The achievement comes as Tina continues to expand her impact on the global stage. In 2024, she delivered a keynote at the Spirit of Inari Summit in Finland, speaking on ‘The Transition from the Numbers Paradigm to the Place Paradigm’ within the overarching theme of ‘The Future of Regenerative Tourism’. She also served as Sustainability Advisor for World Travel Market London, where she moderated the landmark ‘Regenerative Tourism Summit’, putting the concept of regeneration firmly in the spotlight for industry leaders.

The Tourism Space’s B Corp Certification highlights its environmental and social credentials while setting a new benchmark for the tourism sector, demonstrating how businesses can align sustainability targets with profitability. This recognition is a call to action for the global tourism industry to embrace its potential as a force for good, moving beyond traditional standards and embracing a vision of balance between people, place and planet.
