G Adventures Adds 38 Trips to 18-to-Thirtysomethings Portfolio

G Adventures has unveiled 38 new itineraries to its young adult travel style, 18-to-Thirtysomethings, expanding the collection to include new destinations.

The small group adventure tour operator offers multiple travel styles across its land journeys, including Solo-ish itineraries for solo travelers and family journeys for travelers with children. G Adventures’ 18-to-Thirtysomethings travel style is geared toward Gen-Z and Millennial travelers, with itineraries designed to balance affordability and social connection and cultural immersion.

“We’ve seen that this demographic craves dynamic, activity-packed trips and cultural thrills, and that they spend a lot of time using and getting inspired by TikTok and Instagram,” said Yves Marceau, vice president of product at G Adventures.

The expansion adds new destinations for this travel style, including Panama, Patagonia, Central Asia and the first stand-alone trip in Belize.

“We’re opening up destinations that have traditionally been difficult or expensive to travel to, and are doing so in a really unique and innovative way, with incredible community-run accommodations, multi-day island hopping itineraries and activities that celebrate not only the place, but the people who live there,” Yves continued.

The new trips include:

• Patagonia, Chile and Argentina: four itineraries ranging from nine to 16 days.
• Belize: available as a six-day trip with the option of adding a two-day extension.
• The Stans: Four new off-the-beaten-path itineraries exploring Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
• Panama: five new trips are packed with culture, community tourism and off-the-grid experiences.

According to G Adventures, these itineraries were designed to provide what young adult travelers crave most: innovative and immersive fun with the opportunity to form new friendships.

“We’re also seeing that 73% of travellers* booking 18-to-Thirtysomethings trips are solo travelers (that number jumps to 83% for US bookings), and they really appreciate the social aspect and security that comes with a group, plus the opportunity to really understand a destination with knowledgeable chief experience officers (CEOs), as this is often their first big international trip,” added Yves.
