Novel Optimisation and Prediction models to dramatically grow and expand flight-free travel

Byway提供免飞假期，让旅行者乘坐火车、公交车和轮船远离拥挤的人群，并肩负着建设一个以免飞假期为主流的世界的使命。我们的目标是加快向可持续休闲旅游的过渡，将游客从遭受过度旅游之苦的机场中心吸引到其间的美妙地方，促进当地经济。目前的地面旅行路线规划者，如谷歌地图和Rome2Rio，在速度或成本方面进行优化，而我们则在体验方面进行优化。我们以前所未有的方式动态地将多式联运与个性化体验和住宿打包在一起，根据客户的喜好创建定制的套餐度假选项。该项目将开发新的创新工具，为我们的流程添加自动化步骤和额外的定制，同时仍然提供由我们内部的慢速旅行专家利用他们深厚的地区知识建立的行程。

Byway offers flight-free holidays that take travellers away from the crowds by train, bus and boat, and is on a mission to build a world in which flight-free holidays are mainstream. We aim to accelerate the transition to sustainable leisure travel, drawing tourists away from airport hubs suffering from over-tourism to the wonderful places in between, boosting local economies.While current ground-travel route planners like Google Maps and Rome2Rio optimise for speed or cost, we optimise for experience. We dynamically package multi-modal ground transportation with personalised experiences and accommodation in a way that's never been done before, creating custom package holiday options built around customer preferences.This project will develop new innovative tools to add automation steps and additional customisation to our process, whilst still offering itineraries built by our in-house slow-travel experts using their deep regional knowledge.
