What is 700’000 heures Impact?

700’000 Heures Impact is a pioneer in regenerative hospitality, offering extraordinary private experiences in remote destinations while using travel as a force for good. Our approach to regenerative hospitality is a transformative journey that invites travelers to discover and contribute to the preservation of local communities and the restoration of natural ecosystems.

Why is it called 700’000 heures Impact and is it the same as the original 700’000 Heures?

700’000 is the average lifetime in hours that we have on earth. Founder of 700’000 heures Impact, Thierry Teyssier is proposing, through new destinations every year, to rethink the way we spend this time. The maverick hotelier behind Dar Ahlam started a new concept of floating hotels in 2015 through Japan, Cambodia, Brazil and more. Thierry has now joined forces with Diane Binder, the founder of Regenopolis, an initiative that supports local sustainability efforts. Together their journeys have regenerative efforts and initiatives that support the communities visited, allowing them to be autonomous in their development.
