Insight Vacations, the “Business Class Tour” brand under The Travel Corporation (TTC) portfolio, has unveiled more than 100 small group itineraries for 2025, following a sellout success in 2024.
Travellers can now explore the world with an average of just 20 guests (and never more than 24) across a variety of destinations, including a newly launched Women Only Small Group Tour series.
Exceptional Demand Drives Expansion
Toni Ambler, Managing Director of TTC Tour Brands Oceania, highlighted the significance of the expanded offering:
“We saw exceptional sales of our Small Groups in 2024, and the 2025 trend remains strong. We are excited to offer travellers a choice of group sizes across all continents and itineraries. This expansion not only gives customers more options but also provides our valued agent partners with more flexibility and breadth of offering to maximise their sales.”
Premium Experiences in Every Tour
Insight Vacations’ small group tours offer the same premium features that define the brand’s signature style:
- Accommodation: 4- and 5-star stays in prime locations.
- Dining: Regional menus and seasonal flavours as part of a superior culinary experience.
- Travel Comfort: Business Class-style coaches with double the legroom and panoramic views.
- Service: A dedicated Travel Director to ensure personal attention throughout the trip.
All itineraries also feature at least one MAKE TRAVEL MATTER™ Experience, which supports one or more United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring every journey contributes to sustainable tourism practices.
Women Only Tours: Celebrating Women’s Achievements
A standout offering for 2025 is the expanded Women’s Only Small Group Tours, where every itinerary is curated by women for women. These journeys celebrate female achievements and offer unique experiences tied to the UN’s 2024 International Women’s Day theme: “Invest in women: Accelerate progress.”
Examples of immersive experiences include:
- Deep South, USA: Guests learn about the women’s civil rights movement with local expert Elaine Lee Turner, who has served as an educator, activist, and historian in Memphis.
- Scenic Scotland: Meet Julie Hill, the first woman to win the International Sheepdog Championship, and create a custom Scottish handbag to commemorate the tour.
- Morocco: Participate in a baking class at a women’s cooperative that supports aspiring female chefs.
Intimate Travel with Greater Sales Potential
With smaller groups offering a more personalised and immersive experience, agents now have more opportunities to cater to clients seeking intimate travel.
“These smaller groups offer travellers even more dedicated attention and personal service,” Ambler noted. “For agents, it’s an ideal way to meet clients’ needs and expand their product offering.”
