The tourism industry is starting to adopt biomimicry, an approach that involves observing nature to find sustainable solutions, to develop more sustainable tourism experiences. This involves drawing inspiration from living organisms to improve designs and reduce environmental impact. The aviation industry has been a leader in biomimicry, with examples such as winglets inspired by birds and eagles, and an Aeroshark bionic adhesive film inspired by shark skin. The train industry has also been inspired by nature, with the Shinkansen bullet train in Japan designed to reduce compression and improve aerodynamics, inspired by the beak of a fisherman. The maritime industry has also turned to biomimicry, with propeller-less ships inspired by dolphins and fish. In the tourism industry, biomimicry can help create innovative and engaging experiences, such as eco-tourism and activities that reduce environmental impact. For example, the TiHUB in Brittany provides support for innovative tourism projects that meet certain conditions. Overall, biomimicry offers a promising approach to sustainable tourism that considers all aspects of our surroundings and strives towards a desirable future without generating misleading ideas.
