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.
