COURSE 2
Foundational Principles of Transformation Design Philosophy
As we dive deeper into design principles and execution of Transformational Travel creation, it is important to root ourselves in an understanding of where these ideas and concepts come from. This way of travel is not new. In fact it has been happening since the dawn of human beings. The fields of science, philosophy, anthropology, and ancient wisdom lend pieces to what we call Transformational Travel and it is important to understand their basis.
INSTRUCTOR
Tanner Colton
A lifetime of seeking in nature and around the world has taught Tanner one important thing: our lives are not ours alone and there is no end to what we can learn. As the co-owner, along with his wife Kolena, of Travel Life Adventures he seeks to create space where personal transformations can take place for travelers, and to work with and support communities in creating sustainable and empowering tourism programs and infrastructure. It is time for travel to be an agent of positive change instead of a tool of exploitation.
I have been working in travel and tourism for almost 10 years in varying roles and capacities. I have been a travel designer, guide, and consultant. Currently I am the Director of Product Innovation and Education Transformational Travel Council where I am responsible for creation, implementation, and maintenance of all our products and educational programs at the TTC.

Transformation Design Principles
In Travel Experiences
The Transformational Travel Council defines Transformational Travel as “intentionally traveling to stretch, learn and grow into new ways of being and engaging with the world.”
Transformational travel is any travel experience that empowers people to make meaningful, lasting changes in their life and positive impact in the world around them. Ultimately, it’s a new philosophy on travel that connects travellers to their truest self and to others, cultivating a sense of purpose and belonging. It is often identified as a missing link in today’s social purpose and sustainability movements. It is about regeneration of self, planet, and people.
