Keep it local: 5 experiences you can only find in Australia and New Zealand

As Australians, when we think about our next big escape, we tend to cast our eyes across the seas in search of adventure.

But with the rise in interest around sustainable travel and the drop in the Aussie dollar, it’s not only cheaper and more eco-friendly to keep it local, but also opens the doors to a whole new world of fantastic scenery, rich cultural experiences and heart-stopping adventure.

Suggesting a holiday in our corner of the world will give your client a renewed sense of place and appreciation for the unique spot we call home.

And it doesn’t have to be all road trips and pub stays. If you book with a premium company like Inspiring Journeys, you can head off the beaten paths of Australia and New Zealand with bespoke, small group trips tailored to your interests. Think purpose-built 4wd vehicles, immersive local experiences, delicious delicacies and the best possible accommodation, from eco-lodges to boutique hotels.

The best part? If your clients book by 31 January 2020, you’ll save them 10 per cent on all new season departures!

Not to mention, if you sell any Inspiring Journeys trip before 31 May 2020 you could win an unforgettable experience in the Red Centre to see the true outback and imposing Uluru.

The top five sellers before the cut off date are guaranteed a spot, but there are also two lucky wildcard spots available so every booking counts! For more information on the incentive, and Inspiring Journey’s bespoke tours, visit trade.inspiringjourneys.com or contact your sales manager.

To give you an idea of what’s on offer, Inspiring Journeys has just released its Top 10 Bespoke Experiences from its 2020/21 season.

Here are our favourites:

How about the zen experience of drifting along the tranquil waters of Milford Sound? Imagine a peaceful silence, broken only by bird calls and the sound of your paddle in the water.
