At INTRO Travel, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional group travel experiences. Since 2005, we have been creating truly unique and culturally enriching journeys across Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. Our mission is to provide memorable and hassle-free travel experiences by combining adventure, cultural immersion, and social connection, while positively impacting the world.

We offer a variety of tours designed to cater to different interests and budgets. From island-hopping adventures in Thailand and the Philippines to wildlife safaris in Sri Lanka and road trips along Australia’s stunning coastline, each tour is carefully curated to include a mix of iconic sights and off-the-beaten-path destinations. We’ve spent years perfecting every detail to ensure our travellers get the best experience of each country they visit.

Our tours are designed for small groups of like-minded individuals aged 18-39+, fostering a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Our knowledgeable and enthusiastic group leaders provide insights into the culture, history, and hidden gems of each destination. We offer end-to-end support for all our group members, ensuring questions are answered and onward travel is arranged. We are committed to responsible travel, emphasising sustainable practices and community engagement.

This ensures our operations have a positive impact on the environments and communities we visit, honouring the world that gives us so much. At INTRO Travel, we are constantly expanding, creating new tours, and offering the ultimate way to explore the world.

1. What excites you the most about sending young people on your travel programmes abroad?

Seeing group members immerse themselves in new cultures, form lifelong friendships, and grow personally while on our tours is incredibly rewarding. Each journey offers unique experiences, from exploring iconic landmarks to discovering hidden gems, fostering a sense of adventure and global awareness. What truly excites us the most is witnessing their joy as they discover the wonders of the world!

2. You have been in business since 2005. How have you remained successful over the years and what sets INTRO Travel apart from its competitors?

Since 2005, our success has been built on a commitment to creating unique, enriching travel experiences. What sets us apart is our meticulous curation of tours, focus on cultural immersion, and dedication to sustainable travel. Our small group sizes, awesome INTRO legends, and emphasis on social connections ensure each trip is memorable and impactful.

One of our key selling points is quite simply the level of inclusion we provide. Apart from the usual transport, accommodation, and a number of meals most tours provide, we include every activity and experience. We don’t do local payments or optional extras you need to pay for, which is commonplace among competitors. So our value for money is unrivalled and exceptional.

3. How do you ensure the safety and well-being of participants while they are working and travelling abroad?

We have a dedicated operational management and safety team, comprehensive and industry leading safety management practices, including regular safety audits, risk assessments, contingencies, and strong local partnerships. Our experienced group leaders are trained in both physical and mental health first aid, crisis management, ensuring they are prepared for any situation. We provide detailed pre-trip information and 24/7 support, addressing all important questions and facilitating connections with their group before departure. Our support also extends beyond the tour as we assist in planning onward travel.

4. How do you promote sustainable travel within your tours?

At INTRO Travel, we believe that all travel should have a positive impact. Our ‘Small Change’ initiative, launched in 2017, ensures that our tours are environmentally responsible, culturally respectful, and beneficial to local communities. We promote sustainable travel by educating our group members on responsible tourism practices and encouraging them to minimise their environmental footprint. Through this initiative, we support local businesses and families, fostering economic growth in the communities we visit.

Additionally, we engage in projects that give back to these communities, such as environmental conservation efforts and cultural preservation activities. This not only enhances the travel experience but also ensures that our journeys leave a positive and lasting impact on the world.
