Intrepid Travel will introduce 38 new itineraries in the United States, saying it will “reimagine what travel in the country can and should look like” by incorporating more diverse perspectives and experiences alongside the iconic sites.
Intrepid Travel, the B Corp certified tour operator with a mission to create positive change through the joy of travel, has announced a collection of 38 new trips in the U.S. that will begin departing in 2022.
The tour operator says each trip was designed to provide opportunities to forge meaningful connections between travellers and the people who make the diverse country so rich in culture.
“We’ve thought for a long time about the unique role Intrepid can play in the United States,” said James Thornton, CEO of Intrepid Travel.
“We felt compelled to not only offer sustainable and unique travel experiences for international travellers but to also ensure we use the power of tourism as a force for good.”
“We created these itineraries to showcase the U.S. through a more authentic and diverse lens. While they will offer travellers the chance to see the country’s most iconic sites and cities, they also celebrate the lesser-known places, communities and highlights that make up the rich fabric of America.”
“While we did include many of the well-loved places that get people excited to travel, we took it a step further by celebrating the small towns and varying perspectives that allow travellers to understand what America is – not just at its surface, but rather at its core,” he added.
Intrepid’s new U.S. trips will incorporate the must-see attractions while giving travellers more curated, in-depth offerings.
From enjoying local delicacies and going on human-powered active adventures, to spending time with First Nations tribes, each trip will provide a unique take on the destination.
Examples of new trips include:
- South Dakota to Montana Parks Explorer (6 days, from AUD $3,145 per person)
- Portland to San Francisco Discovery (6 days, from AUD $3,280 per person)
- Tennessee Music Trail to New Orleans (6 days, from AUD $3,760 per person)
- Best of Montana (6 days, from AUD $2,590 per person)
- Georgia History Trail to Nashville (7 days, from AUD $3,615 per person)
The launch of these new trips brings Intrepid’s total portfolio in the United States to 57 tours, together covering 28 states and Washington D.C. and including a mix of walking, cycling, multi-active, culinary and general sightseeing adventures.
Intrepid Travel says the United States will play a big part in its future growth and vision as a company.
To increase its capacity, ensure the utmost quality control over each trip and incorporate the highest sustainable and responsible measures, the business has built and launched its own dedicated American operations hub this year, which allows Intrepid to build more meaningful and impactful relationships with its suppliers.
Future plans in the United States include continuing to work with First Nations outfitters to run more specialised trips and experiences focused on several perspectives and cultures of the country’s various tribes and aiming to introduce its recently launched premium tour range in the States, which will provide a sustainable travel option for the higher-end adventure traveller.
