The Travel Corporation (TTC)’s Trafalgar and its sister brands Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold announced the launch of 16 new itineraries for travel in 2026 today, 1st July.
The announcement marks the largest introduction of new trips by the group in the past seven years.
Spanning five continents and featuring both timeless destinations and trending travel hotspots, this expansion reinforces the brand’s dedication to meeting evolving traveller desires for immersive, personalised, and culturally rich travel experiences.
From Patagonia to Portugal, the Balkans to the Great Lakes, the newly unveiled trips include a dynamic mix of nature escapes, culinary explorations, heritage-rich adventures, and women-only departures, all of which showcase TTC Tour Brands’ commitment to offering something for every kind of traveller.
According to TTC CEO for Asia Nick Lim: “Asian travellers are looking for more new and meaningful experiences. With an audience that has matured in terms of travel styles and taste, we find that more travellers are embracing a slower, more mindful pace of travel. Our new itineraries are designed to reflect this evolutionary shift.
Meeting travellers at their destinations of choice
The launch comes as travel trends show surging interest in off-the-beaten-path destinations, regional cultural immersion, and multi-country adventures:
- Portugal, South Korea, and the Balkans are among the top trending destinations for 2025, according to multiple travel indexes (Google Travel, Booking.com).
- Women-only travel is booming, with companies catering specifically to female travellers growing by 230 percent in recent years, and women now accounting for 71 percent of solo travel globally (Euronews, 1000 Mile Travel Group). Insight Vacations new Country Roads of the Deep South – Women-Only tour meets this growing demand.
- Travelers are increasingly booking longer, multi-country itineraries, with 61.7 percent of travellers visiting more than one country on their most recent trips—reflecting a shift toward more immersive and diverse travel experiences (University of Zurich, Travel Medicine Department).
Lim said of these trends: “From Asia, we’re seeing a growing appetite for travel to South America and lesser explored parts of Europe and we’re excited to meet that demand with these new trips.”
