Travel start-up Byway, dedicated to combating tourism’s impact on the planet by simplifying flight-free travel, has launched an exciting new collection of sustainable holidays for dog owners. These unique experiences have been thoughtfully curated to consider every aspect from dog-friendly accommodation to transportation options.
Byway, which offers holidays across the UK and Europe by train, bus, boat and bike, has seen surging enquiries from travellers keen to include their four-legged friends in their adventures. Flight-free trips can be a much more comfortable experience for dogs than car/air-based alternatives, but researching and planning a pet-friendly holiday can be exceptionally complex. Byway’s team of sustainable travel experts have handpicked holiday journeys that provide simple and stress-free experiences for dogs and their owners, including:
- Dog-welcoming hotels – not just accepting, but welcoming. Think treats, dog bowls, comfy beds and onsite restaurants that accommodate dogs.
- Walking spots – carefully selected stops with dog-friendly beaches and parks
- Pooch-friendly Europe – with dogs unable to go on the Eurostar, Byway has included great alternatives for European adventures from dog-friendly sleeper ferry cabins to cross-channel minibuses that allow dogs to sit beside their owners during the journey.
“Dogs make brilliant travel buddies, and flight-free getaways are a joyful, sustainable way to explore with furry friends. Our dog-centric trips have been created to make it really easy for dog parents to skip the kennels and bring their pets with them on holiday. We take away the hassle of researching and booking pet-welcoming journeys and stays and provide on-demand support from our pet-loving team (with free dog-friendly disruption rerouting if needed!)!” said Cat Jones, Founder and CEO, Byway
