Flight Centre releases slow travel video series

Flight Centre has released a five-part video series designed to tempt holidaymakers with real-time travel footage.

The series, called Relax (Slow TV), features a range of travel options, such as a helicopter flight or gondola ride over the Swiss Alps, as well as sights and sounds for people to relax to in destinations including Bali and Hawaii.

The long-haul and tailor-made specialist said it wants to “sustainably open up the world for people who want to see it” while also enticing potential travellers to book a trip.

Global managing director Andrew Stark said: “The slow TV phenomenon is the perfect platform for customers who want an escape from the hectic pace of life and seek an introspective, soothing and immersive viewing experience.

“Every year we’re seeing more travellers seeking authentic experiences, coming increasingly curious, exploring different landscapes and engaging with cultures more deeply.

“Seeing and hearing the world in real-time video really is the next best thing to being there. Our Relax (Slow TV) series is the closest we can get to try before you buy in travel.”
