In Episode 4, we find ourselves in Mexico at a turtle sanctuary, that doubles as an environmentally conscious resort called Playa Viva.
We sat down with owner David Leventhal, who is an industry leader in regenerative design and travel. In our discussion, we learned about David's beginnings in the hospitality industry, and how he transformed a small turtle sanctuary into a luxury outdoor hospitality destination using the following guiding principals:
Use Cleaner, More Abundant and Transparent Energy, Water and Waste Streams
Promote and Create Biodiversity
Create Transformational Experiences
Promote Meaningful Community
Create a Living Legacy
David also offers up some insightful thoughts about what it takes to succeed in the experiential outdoor hospitality industry, and why it's vitally important to always know your why.
We’re excited to talk turtles and more with David, and we hope you enjoy Episode 4, on Season 3, of The Glamptuary Podcast!
