Globus says exotic travel is taking off this year with the travel company reporting record-breaking growth across its “farthest-flung touring destinations” – from the Great Wall of China to the Great Migration in East Africa. Indeed, Global notes that 90% of its departures to exotic destinations this year are already guaranteed to operate.

And that, adds Globus, suggests “a clear signal of demand and a call-to-action for travel advisors,” not least to “act fast” before space is sold out.

Globus reports that Asia is leading the surge, with sales up more than 35% over this time last year, thanks to nearly 60 itineraries and new immersive offerings in China (including the Yangtze River), South Korea, Laos and Indonesia (Bali and Java). These destinations join fan-favourites like Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, India and Nepal, giving travel advisors a wide canvas of high-commission opportunities for their clients.

Meanwhile, demand across the South Pacific is up 10% for Globus with 35 itineraries, and Africa is climbing to 10% growth with 32 tours; and South America is up 3%, including top-performing Small Group Discovery tours.

“For Canadian travellers eager to explore the far corners of the globe, touring makes all the difference,” said Denise Harper, managing director of sales, Globus family of brands – Canada. “Whether it’s navigating cultural nuances, skipping the stress of logistics or simply making the most of each moment, guided vacations are the key to unlocking richer, more rewarding travel experiences. And for our advisor partners, that means bigger bookings, happier clients and commissions that truly pay off.”
