Regenerative Hospitality

Scott Gallant
Curious about regenerative hospitality? We're exploring the art and logistics of hosting visitors on your land with agroforestry and eco-hospitality expert Scott Gallant of Porvenir Design.
As small, community-led regenerative initiatives take root around the world, many are learning to welcome visitors curious about their land and way of life. What if hospitality could nourish ecosystems instead of extract from them?
Scott brings over a decade of experience integrating farms with hotels and residential developments, creating connections for farm-to-table restaurants and curating guest experiences in Costa Rica and beyond.
We'll cover the fundamentals of welcoming visitors to a regenerative land project — design principles, activities and tried-and-true practices for becoming a hub of ecological knowledge exchange. We'll also get into the ethical tensions that come with tourism, considering how to walk gently in new landscapes and leave them better than we found them.
Come curious and ready to learn about:
- Case studies from regenerative hospitality projects
- Revenue models for starting a land-based hospitality venture
- Hospitality principles that shift the visitor from tourist to nourishing presence
Join us for a presentation and conversation on how farm-based hospitality can catalyze regenerative economies and bioregional abundance.
