TORONTO — Effective immediately, Intrepid trips previously labelled 18 to 29s will become available to travellers into their mid-30s.

The company says this expansion is part of its broader move to cater for next-generation travel, growing its trip range in 2024 to provide more enriching and local-led travel opportunities for Gen Zs and Millennials.

In 2024, Intrepid introduced 15 new trips exclusive to this age range, including the 9-Day Essential Korea, Six Days in Iceland and One Week in Morocco.

Intrepid has seen a rise in enquiries from travelers in their early 30s wanting to join Intrepid’s young adult trips. The company conducted extensive consumer research which showed that most travellers aged 18 to 35 prefer to travel with those of a similar age.

The top three priorities were: unique cultural travel experiences, small-group size and best value for money. These were followed by a desire for more destinations and local leaders.

“When the average person thinks about travel for young adults, they picture massive groups, fast-paced itineraries, party-packed nights and touristy experiences,” says Intrepid’s General Manager of Global Product, Erica Kritikides. “This generation is more curious, climate-conscious and culturally connected than any other. Our experiences must match that.”
