REV On Air: Tourism as a Giving Economy with David Leventhal of Regenerative Travel
This podcast episode is a part of the REV x Farmer’s Footprint Regenerative Podcast Series!
In our forth episode of our Regenerative Podcast Series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we speak to founder of Regenerative Travel and owner of Playa Viva, David Leventhal! Reframing luxury in the realm of travel, David opens our eyes to seeing regenerative tourism and hospitality as the ultimate luxury we can experience. David shares what it’s like to be on the ever-evolving journey of building a regenerative hotel and the importance of honouring the land you’re building on. Most importantly David speaks of the impact of community, and how once we all start making sustainable choices, it creates a ripple effect spanning further than you can imagine.
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, and demand from the places you go to that they’re at least where you are individually. And it may require additional work but that’s the beauty of the internet right now.”
David Leventhal
