Company mission

To redefine travel and embed principles of regenerative travel into everything we do.

Our take

Booking a holiday can often be a daunting task that involves a lot of time and effort. On top of this, the travel and tourism industry is responsible for up to 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. So sustainable travel is becoming a priority.

Viatu aims to address these challenges by providing a user-friendly platform for booking sustainable, environmentally conscious multi-day adventures. Its platform streamlines the booking process, making it simpler and more efficient for travellers to plan their trips.

While Viatu is a relatively new company, it has already attracted significant funding. This funding will help the company to expand its operations, reach a wider audience, and continue to innovate and improve its platform. With this backing, Viatu is well-positioned to become a major player in the sustainable travel industry and we can expect to see exciting developments from them in the future.
