...Through regenerative travel

David Leventhal walks us through why we need to go beyond “leave no trace” and start to clean up the mess that generations have left. How can we focus travel on creating a better future through our impact on the places we visit? At the heart of this cleanup is the Idea of regeneration. Not just sustaining where we are, but replenishing the people and places that we interact with. We talk with David about the positive feedback loops built into his resort - from dining to the turtle sanctuary - by the presence of guests on the land. Learn how to invest your travel dollars wisely with Regenerative Travel, a network that helps you locate resorts like Playa Viva that are doing this work.

It’s not just about picking up after myself. Other people came before and left a big mess, and we have to help pick up that mess because otherwise it’s just going to stay there if we only focus on cleaning up after ourselves.
