Spotlight: Byway

Meet Byway… enabler of mindful, sustainable travel and the “#SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day” for May 15.

Byway is a travel B Corporation on a mission to reimagine how people explore the world by offering personalized, overland journeys with lower environmental impact and greater economic contributions to local communities.

Founded in 2020, the company specializes in removing friction for travelers by curating multi-stop holidays that embrace the joy of the journey, helping travelers discover lesser-known destinations through thoughtfully planned itineraries. Byway handles all the logistics—trains, accommodations, activities and transfers—so travelers can enjoy seamless, stress-free adventures.

At the heart of Byway’s approach is a commitment to slow, sustainable travel using two million miles of local expertise. Their itineraries prioritize scenic train routes, ferries and other lower-impact forms of transportation that connect travelers more closely with the landscapes and communities they pass through. Byway routing technology avoids overtourism hotspots and instead favors independent lodging and local experiences, offering trips that are both environmentally considerate and culturally rich.

Through these efforts, Byway is working to reduce the climate impact of travel, combat over tourism, boost local economies and increase tourist spending with sustainable providers. For the traveler, the result is a more relaxed, immersive, and environmentally mindful way to see the world—one that celebrates the journey as much as the destination.
