slow travel


DEFINITIONS1
  1. 1
    travelling long distances over land and sea rather than by plane, especially because you are concerned about the environment or because you want to spend time enjoying the journey
    This is slow travel, which, rather like “slow food”, is quickly catching on, and it is an unbeatable way to go on holiday. While flying is a method of transport, taking a train is travel in its widest sense, in the same way that cycling or walking through a town enables you to see things that drivers miss completely.

    The expression slow travel was coined in 2000 by Pauline Kenny, founder of slowtrav.com, a website dedicated to promoting the concept, which in its original sense was not primarily about eco-friendly travelling, but more about taking time to value the experience of being somewhere different. The term takes inspiration from the expression slow food – the idea being that, just as slow foodies advocate savouring carefully-prepared food, slow travellers adopt a more thoughtful approach to enjoying their travels. A related concept is slow city, a city which promotes a healthy environment and locally-produced food. All three expressions tie in with what is now sometimes referred to as the Slow Movement, a cultural shift towards slowing down the pace of 21st century life.
