The group, which operates theInsideJapan Tours and InsideAsia Tours brands, is back in expansion mode after recovering from the pandemic, during which its main destination – Japan – shut its borders for 30 months.

Director and co-founder Alastair Donnelly tells TTG an announcement will be made in November about a new addition to InsideAsia’s programme, which currently features 10 destinations.

“The plan for the next couple of years is to grow our Asian destinations,” he reveals. “We’ll bring in a new product and sales team because it’s important to have real experts.”
