Host and executive producer of Leave No Trace TV, who has visited all seven continents for eco-luxury travel.
Richard Crawford is the executive producer and host of Leave No Trace TV, which airs on National Geographic, Amazon Prime, Sky TV, EarthX TV and Fox Life. He has visited all seven continents to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable and eco-luxury tourism, and to demonstrate that extraordinary experiences and genuine environmental stewardship can coexist. He received a Telly Award in 2020 for Craft in Television, is an honoured member of the Global Scot network, and co-hosts the Speaking of Travel podcast.
Richard's contribution lies in reframing the luxury travel conversation entirely. Rather than positioning sustainability as a constraint on exceptional experiences, he argues the opposite — that genuine luxury, in the twenty-first century, must include the preservation of the natural and cultural environments that make those experiences possible. Through the programme he sets out to educate audiences on the Leave No Trace principles that guide responsible outdoor and travel behaviour, and on conservation strategies for the destinations the show visits.
For tourism industry conferences, sustainability summits, corporate travel and hospitality events, Richard Crawford brings a perspective grounded in direct, global experience. His speaking topics include responsible travel and the impact of sustainable tourism, emerging trends in eco and sustainable luxury travel, redefining luxury through sustainability, and the future of travel in a changing world. He speaks to audiences that care about what the future of travel looks like — and to organisations that understand that how they engage with the natural world is increasingly central to both their brand and their responsibility.
