The challenge of modern life is limited time. Our lives are running away from us.

We travel further, faster and more frequently than ever before. Whilst technology has made the world a smaller place, we are buzzing around it like flies in a jar.

What are we gaining by travelling so far, so fast and so often?

The Slow Travel Manifesto tackles these issues of speed, time and the quality of experience.

What is Slow Travel?

We're rethinking how we escape.

Instead of a fast-paced, 'no-frills' experience, Slow Travel is an engaging exploration of landscapes and cultures. We want to celebrate the local. And recognise the journey as an integral part of the travelling experience.

To truly escape, we need to nurture the right frame of mind as much as choose the right destination.

Why is Slow Travel important?

Slow Travel is an alternative to flying. We want to demonstrate that without the aeroplane, life can be better.

We believe that Slow Travel broadens our horizons, rather than restricts our freedom. In following a new way to travel we're looking forward to a healthier, happier society.

Why now?

We need to accept the limitations of carbon intense travel. The Slow Travel Manifesto offers a solution to the debate around flying and climate change. In other words, let's find some alternatives we can all enjoy.

Who are slow travellers?

Slow travellers enjoy the transition of landscapes beneath their feet. They choose forms of transport that embrace efficiency and take them into the heart of new places and experiences.
