Do you remember during Covid when the grocery stores were not being stocked? If you were thinking about learning to grow your own food, the time was yesterday. Yes the government should assist families in need however we need to depend on ourselves in these times. Start learning to grow now and get you a couple of chickens. It’s gonna be a rocky decade.

What does “luxury” mean to you? High-end? Inaccessible? Exclusive?

Unfortunately, in many luxury tourist spaces discrimination, prejudice, and stereotyping still exist.

To mitigate this, we are reimagining what luxury is and can be for the BIPOC and LGBTQ community. Merging inclusivity, wellness, nature, and the cultivation of creative forces to make big changes in the world.

Our journey is just beginning. Join us— not in a movement— but in a way of life.

COMMENT “LUXURY” and will send you details on how to get involved with the formation of Destination Elevated Resort.
