Intrepid Travel opens applications for its largest agent FAM program in 2026

Intrepid Travel has opened applications for its 2026 Agent FAM Program, offering travel advisors across the U.S. and Canada the chance to experience some of the world’s most exciting destinations and trip styles firsthand.

From March through December 2026, this expanded FAM program gives advisors hands-on access to Intrepid’s most in-demand destinations and trip styles, designed to turn firsthand experience into confident sales and long-term client trust.

The 2026 FAM program includes opportunities across Central and South America, Europe, North Africa, and East Asia. Destinations advisors may experience include:

• Belize
• Guatemala
• Turkey
• South Korea
• Peru
• Morocco
• Hungary, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia

Why Apply Now 

* Limited space on each FAM with high advisor demand

• Applications for Central America close December 31, 2025
• All other FAM applications close January 28, 2026
• Advisors can indicate interest in multiple destinations with one application
• Early applicants are considered first as trips are finalized

How to Apply 

Full details, eligibility requirements, and the application form are available now on the Intrepid Agent Hub. Advisors are encouraged to review all available FAM options and submit their application as soon as possible.

Each FAM is designed to showcase the diversity of Intrepid’s product range, including:

• MARCH: Short Breaks in Guatemala and Belize
• JUNE: Food and Culture-focused trips in South Korea
• OCTOBER: Adventure and trekking experiences in Peru
• DECEMBER: Iconic European Christmas Markets

While FAM itineraries are customized for advisor education, several closely follow existing Intrepid trips, including Central America, Christmas Markets, and Peru Trek.

All general FAMs will be hosted by members of Intrepid’s Partnerships Team, giving advisors direct access to the people behind the product, as well as deep insight into how Intrepid operates on the ground with local leaders and communities.

Participation fees for general FAMs start as low as $550 CAD, with a portion of every fee donated directly to Intrepid Foundation partners in the destination visited. In total, Intrepid expects to donate more than $18,000 CAD to local community organizations through the 2026 FAM program.

New for 2026, Intrepid has streamlined the process with a single application covering all FAM opportunities. Advisors can select which trips they are interested in, reducing duplication and making it easier to express interest across multiple destinations. A disclaimer is included for trekking-based trips, such as Peru.

All U.S. and Canadian advisors are encouraged to apply, regardless of consortia or partnership affiliation.

Caroline Tinley, Head of Partnernships, Canada at Intrepid Travel, said: “Our 2026 FAM program is about giving advisors real, firsthand insight into what makes Intrepid different. By experiencing our trips on the ground, advisors gain the knowledge and credibility to match clients with the right destinations and travel styles, while also supporting the local communities that make these journeys possible. It’s an experience that benefits everyone involved.”
