TravelBrands teams up with Intrepid to strengthen specialty tour offerings

TravelBrands has announced a new partnership with Intrepid Travel, strengthening its specialty tour offering through Exotik Journeys (a TravelBrands company) and bringing premium, small-group travel experiences to Canadian advisors.

Intrepid’s itineraries are now available through the TravelBrands network, further expanding the range of experience-led travel options for advisors and their clients. Supported by dedicated training, onboarding, and booking resources, along with a competitive commission structure, the program is designed to help advisors confidently sell and grow within this category.

Nathalie Tanious, President & CEO of H.I.S. Canada Travel Inc., parent company of TravelBrands, said: “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,”

Tanious continued: “Intrepid’s globally respected approach to small-group and adventure travel aligns with our vision, and through Exotik Journeys, advisors can confidently offer these itineraries with the support, flexibility, and global expertise needed to deliver exceptional client experiences.”

Christian Wolters, President, Canada, Intrepid Travel, said: “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.”

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.

Advisors also gain access to a diverse range of itineraries across East and Southern Africa, Europe, and Oceania. These include cultural, cycling, and walking experiences, as well as Intrepid’s Premium travel style, which is currently the fastest-growing segment for Intrepid North America.
