In today’s world, travel is often taken for granted as a hedonist escape from the daily grind or, at worst, a wasteful practice for the privileged. From the large-scale environmental rehabilitation of degraded sites, to sense-driven spas rooted in traditional Asian wisdom, Banyan Group has spent the past 30 years demonstrating not just how travel could be, but how it should be: a powerful tool for investing in the future of all. This powerful perspective coalesces in a new brand world that vitally reframes the purpose and protocols of travel for our time: The Business of Discovery.
Since 1994, Banyan Group has always visualised the power of travel as a blueprint for how individuals connect with the world. We visualised this remarkable way of thinking and doing through the Banyan Scope, a graphic device that perpetually shifts our point-of-view to the bigger picture. From an individual perspective, to an interconnected one. From a single moment in time—one holiday, or one fiscal year—to a time horizon that spans generations.
To show Banyan Group’s pioneering work in imagery, we created a visual language built on abstraction, possibility, and potential. Paired with a tone of voice that orchestrates a powerful shift in perspective—one that refuses to trade in cliched getaways, but instead frames travel as a mode for being. Not time off, but time on. Not an expense, but an investment. Not a vacation, but an education. All because the time for travel without purpose is over.
