TravelBrands Adds More Small-Group & Premium Adventures with Intrepid Partnership

TravelBrands’ Exotik Journeys is now offering Intrepid Travel itineraries.

TravelBrands is strengthening its premium, small-group specialty tour offering through a partnership between its Exotik Journeys brand and Intrepid Travel.

Intrepid’s globally recognized itineraries are now available through the TravelBrands network, further expanding the range of experience-led travel options for advisors and their clients. 

“As traveller expectations shift toward more experience-led journeys, our partnership with Intrepid Travel strengthens our ability to equip advisors with in-demand product and new opportunities for growth,” said Nathalie Tanious, President & CEO of H.I.S.

“TravelBrands represents an exciting opportunity for us to expand our reach across Canada at a time when demand for adventure travel continues to grow year over year,” said Christian Wolters, President, Canada, Intrepid Travel.

TravelBrands says booking an Intrepid trip with Exotik Journeys offers strong advantages for travel advisors. Agents can earn their regular commission, seamlessly add pre- and post-trip extensions, and bundle flights with the support of Exotik Journeys’ destination specialists. 

Additionally, TravelBrands’ exclusive “We’ve Got Your Back” assistance service provides added peace of mind, while every booking contributes to Loyalty Rewards Points accumulation.
