Nyarai Tourism Village is renowned for its natural attractions, such as the Nyarai Waterfall and Gamaran Forest, iconic to the village. Known for its community-based ecotourism, local residents actively participate as tour guides. This study aims to identify principles of regenerative tourism in Nyarai Tourism Village, West Sumatra, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive approach was applied, with data collected through observation and in-depth interviews with three representatives: village tourism managers, government organizations, and the local community. Thematic analysis revealed regenerative principles, including holistic forest management, community-stakeholder collaboration, product diversification as transformation and inspiration, tree-planting and "Lubuk Larangan" areas as responsibility, and preserved cultural tourism as cultural management.
