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.

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