A year and a half after launching their brand-new Premium range, the world’s largest travel B Corp has unveiled 10 new Intrepid Premium tours to continue giving travellers a more sustainable choice for higher-end adventures.
These tours, which feature Intrepid’s highest standard accommodation and exceptional on-trip experiences while minimising your environmental footprint, have quickly become the most successful product launch in Intrepid history, and the range will now feature 97 tours globally
Intrepid Trave, has introduced 10 new tours as part of their Intrepid Premium range. The new tours come a year and a half after Intrepid launched their inaugural Premium collection, a range of tours appealing to discerning travellers that feature hand-picked accommodations, private transportation, train journeys and an array of signature stays and exclusive experiences. The addition of 10 new tours, which include 6 new trips in Europe and 4 new trips in North and South America, bring the total number of Intrepid Premium trips to 97, giving travellers a more sustainable choice for higher-end adventures.
With the introduction of these new itineraries, the Intrepid Premium range will now span across 42 countries and 5 continents. While Africa and Asia have been the two top selling regions for the Premium range so far, the addition of these new trips will help bolster the Premium offering in other key destinations around the world, specifically in Europe. The 6 new Europe itineraries will mark the first Premium tours in the Baltics, Balkans, and Northern Spain, and bring the total Intrepid Premium offering in Europe to 25 tours.
The launch will also mark the first Intrepid Premium itinerary in the United States with the introduction of Premium Alaska. It is one of 4 tours being launched across the Americas including Premium Costa Rica and Premium Patagonia.
“With our aim to become a world leader in sustainable, experience-rich travel, we identified that many of our customers were seeking a higher-end product with purpose. We saw Premium as an opportunity to build a new style of tour that ensures local communities truly benefit from high-value tourism. Our aim is to also bring back more of our agents and advisors to create job security for Australians in this crucial time,” says Sarah Clark, ANZ Managing Director, Intrepid Travel.
