What is slow travel? Slow Travel is the act of immersing in one place instead of rushing through many.
This is a term that has been swarming the internet this year. But at VIVE Society Travel, it’s more than just a trend — it’s the heart of how we design every journey.
Most group tour companies have you packing your bags every two or three days, rushing from one hotel to the next, and cramming in as many destinations as possible. We believe travel should feel different. Slow travel is about falling in love with a country, immersing yourself in its culture, and giving yourself the gift of feeling as though you’re actually living there, even if only for a short time.

That’s why we choose to base ourselves at one luxury hotel in each destination. Not because we’re snobby or pretentious — but because the atmosphere of where you stay shapes the entire energy of your trip. Our travelers appreciate that their accommodations are not just a place to sleep, but a vital part of the experience. Five-star hotels elevate the vibe, creating space for rest, connection, and true presence.
Many of the hotels we choose to partner with have their own stories to tell and give back to the local community like the Shinta Mani Angkor Hotel in Cambodia, pictured above.
Of course, during our trips, we visit more than one region to bring variety, but always at a pace that allows time to breathe. Our travelers return home not only with memories of the places they’ve seen but with deeper connections to the people, culture, and energy of those places.
At VIVE Society Travel, we believe travel should reset your soul — not exhaust you. Slow travel is how we see the world — not just because it’s trending. It’s what we’ve done since our beginning in 2016.
