Intrepid Travel discounts and incentive aim to boost sales in ‘current climate’

Intrepid Travel has unveiled savings of up to 30% on selected tours, along with an additional cash incentive for agents, to boost sales in the “current geopolitical climate”.

Running until June 10, the discounts are on a range of trips departing from June 1, 2026, to March 2027.

For every booking made by travel agents in the sale period, the tour operator is offering an additional £20 cash incentive.

Carrie Grant, head of trade partnerships at Intrepid Travel, said: “We know from our industry partners that people still want to take their holidays, and we want to support our trade partners in making those holidays possible.

“In the current geopolitical climate, we are aware that agents may need to put in some additional efforts to make these sales which is why we hope the cash incentive for this booking period is a welcome add-on for those efforts. Intrepid remains committed to supporting the trade.”

Selected departures across Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas are eligible for discounts, which are available across all trip styles from Basix to Premium.

• Meanwhile, the operator has added three commissionable ‘Uncommon Day Trips’ to its Urban Adventures portfolio.

Travelling in small groups of no more than 12, the trips run for two to three hours and take travellers into lesser-known neighbourhoods.

The trips are in Barcelona (£55), Venice (£69) and Paris (£49).

Florencia Allo Moreno, West Europe regional general manager, at Intrepid Travel said: “Overtourism in parts of Europe is a real and growing challenge, particularly in cities like Barcelona, Paris and Venice where local communities are feeling the impact of high visitor volumes.

“We’ve worked closely with our local teams – who are themselves residents in these cities – to better understand the problem and identify how we can support responsible visitation that ensures the needs of both residents and travellers work in harmony, not in isolation.” 

With the addition of these three new trips, Intrepid now runs 25 day trips in Europe, across 11 cities. Intrepid also runs 236 multi-day trips in the region, spanning 42 different countries.
