REV On Air: Tourism as a Giving Economy with David Leventhal of Playa Viva and Regenerative Travel
This podcast episode is a part of the REV x Farmer’s Footprint Regenerative Podcast Series!
In the fourth episode of our Regenerative Podcast Series with Farmer’s Footprint, we chat with David Leventhal. He is the founder of Regenerative Travel and owner of Playa Viva! David shows us a new way to think about luxury in travel. He highlights regenerative tourism and hospitality as the true luxury we can enjoy. David talks about his journey in building Playa Viva, a regenerative hotel. And the importance of honoring the land you’re building on. David highlights the power of community. When we all make sustainable choices, it creates a ripple effect that spreads farther than you might think.
This Podcast episode is brought to you by our friends at Obakki and Fisker!
“What are your values? You want to go somewhere that composts. You want to go some place that doesn’t have plastic bottles in the room, right? So we vote with our dollar. our euro, our whatever, every day. And our travel spend will probably be our first or second largest discretionary income spend that we’ll do all year long. So, if you’re going to spend that much money, make sure it’s aligned with your values. It may require additional work but that’s the beauty of the internet right now.”
