What turns a trip from a holiday into an adventure? We think getting lost in sampling local delicacies and forming genuine bonds during local interactions does it! All these are part of Inside Travel Group’s brand ethos, delivering ‘Cultural Adventure’ across its two award-winning brands, InsideAsia and InsideJapan. Going above and beyond extends not only to their guest experiences but also to their relationships with agents. Discover how here.
According to Inside Travel Group, a cultural adventure pairs classic sightseeing with unique experiences that connect guests to local life on a deeper, richer level.
It’s a type of travel that goes beyond the guidebooks and social media reels—one where Australians can enjoy genuine connections, from the people to landscapes and food. Inside Travel Group has 20+ years of experience building relationships with local communities (and giving back to them) to facilitate memorable trip moments for your clients.
We mentioned going above and beyond. Well, InsideAsia/InsideJapan achieved B Corp Certification in 2023 after a rigorous verification process. So, with their B Corp Certified status and carbon-negative trips, they’ve proven this ethos through and through, and they’re doing it in the most ethical, sustainable way possible!
Asia specialists just for you
For almost two and a half decades, Inside Travel Group has been delivering bespoke trips across Asia. Their focus has been on the guests, of course, but also you. They develop tours and itineraries to appeal to agents whose clients seek an authentic slice of local life.
Think about how long you’ve been going to your hairdresser or dentist. When we find someone who gets us while consistently delivering exceptional service, we return year after year. With a whopping 88% ‘excellent’ post-trip rating, Inside Travel Group’s proof is in the (sticky mango) pudding.
With strong relationships across the Asian communities they pass through, Inside Travel Group ensures everyone wins as your clients gain access to special experiences hidden from most. It’s an approach that many generalist tour operators struggle to provide, positioning them – and you – for great success.
Pick your client’s ideal travel style
Inside Travel Group focuses on its key mission of delivering cultural adventure, but that doesn’t mean there’s only one way to travel with them. With its Small Group Tours, Self-Guided Adventures, and fully tailored trips, there’s an ideal style of travel to suit your clients.
Inside Travel Group will work with you to tap into your clients’ curiosity about a country and build a custom trip that emphasises what excites them—with a few surprises along the way, of course.
For example, if your favourite history-buff client wants to go to Cambodia, you know Angkor Wat and Bayon Temple are must-do itinerary inclusions.
As the insider experts, InsideAsia can connect your clients with a team of conservationists to slip behind the temple scaffolding. Here, they’ll learn how Cambodia’s emblematic temple is more than a building; it’s a sculpture.
The friendly team at InsideAsia may also suggest your client join a Cambodian cooking class. They know that learning to make kroeung adds more flavour (literally and figuratively) and dimension to Cambodia’s history and culture.
Uncover a richer way to travel
Can you think back to your most memorable travel encounter? We can guess it wasn’t standing in a line for a historic monument or huddled with a large group at a famous landmark.
That’s because the best trips are filled with special experiences unique to the destination, like eating sea urchins freshly caught by Jeju Island’s female free divers. Or hiking the steep trails of Laos’ misty cloud forests with a guide who has a lineage of ancestors who have walked the path and know how to find the sun bears that live along it.
With Inside Travel Group, your clients can get all this and more. It’s in their brand DNA to ‘Get Beneath the Surface’. They can learn why kimchi is good for the soul from a temple chef in Korea. Or stay with Cambodian elders who can’t say what year they were born but instead count their age in rice harvests.
Travel with Inside Travel Group is richer, more meaningful, and comes with far better post-vacay stories.
Truly small group tours
When your clients take a Small Group Tour with InsideJapan, it’s an intimate affair. With a maximum of 16 people, guests can access places the big groups can’t and enjoy local in-the-know encounters that are only possible due to the compact group size.
From Tokyo’s tiny backstreet izakaya bars to sleeping in traditional ryokan inns, InsideJapan’s group tours – led by their expert Insider tour leaders – lift the lid on Japan in fabulously unexpected ways.
Of course, there are also FIT trips for clients who prefer more private cultural adventures.
Your elevated agent experience
Inside Travel Group has long been deeply committed to protecting the reputations of the agents it works with. Your Inside Travel Group experience is as important to them as your clients’.
From the first call to client departure, you’ll deal with the same friendly consultant, ensuring consistency and efficiency. There’s also 24/7 customer support, so you don’t have to take a 3am random call (and then make another call on their behalf).
