Trafalgar and sister brands Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold have responded to travel trends in Asia by unlocking 16 new itineraries for travel in 2026.
The itineraries – spanning Patagonia to Portugal, the Balkans to the Great Lakes - mark The Travel Corporation’s largest introduction of new trips in the past seven years.
“Asian travellers are looking for 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,” said Nick Lim, CEO, Asia, The Travel Corporation.
“Our new itineraries are designed to reflect this evolutionary shift.”
Travel trends in Asia that TTC has noted in designing its new itineraries include:
Portugal, South Korea, and the Balkans are among the top trending destinations for 2025.
Women-only travel is booming. Women now accounting for 71% of solo travel globally. Insight Vacations’ new Country Roads of the Deep South – Women-Only tour meets a growing demand.
Travellers are increasingly booking longer, multi-country itineraries, reflecting a shift toward more immersive and diverse travel experiences.
“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.” added Lim.
The new trips are available to book now for 2026 departures.
