Positive Energy on the Local Legends Panel

Describing what you do and why you do it can sometimes feel like the hardest thing. But for Peta Alexopoulos, Co-Founder of Positive Energy Adventures & Retreats, being part of the Local Legends panel at the North Coast Tourism Destination NSW Symposium 2025 in Byron Bay made it flow with ease.

Peta joined three incredible women in tourism business to share her journey of co-founding Positive Energy, and to explore how nature, movement, and mindful connection can transform the way people live, work, and thrive.

Together with her business partner, Belinda Johnson, Peta has built a portfolio of eco-certified hiking and wellness retreats across the Mid North Coast, Sydney, and Lord Howe Island. These immersive retreats are designed to foster personal growth, create meaningful community, and deepen connection to the natural world.

“Wellness isn’t a luxury, it’s essential. People want to embrace it on holidays and feel refreshed when they return. Women in business in tourism are leading the way with wellness tourism.” – Peta Alexopoulos

Peta said she was grateful for the opportunity to share this vision on the panel and connect with others who are equally passionate about sustainable tourism, wellbeing, and positive energy.
