The avid explorer of new tourism frontiers curates inspiring experiences with an Asian twist
As the world returns to travel, bespoke travel designer Intriq Journey, a luxury travel specialist in curating fully personalized itinerary that is reflective of individual lifestyle preferences and needs, has debuted in Asia Pacific.
Every journey created by this strong advocate of responsible tourism is a definitive self-expression of a traveler’s passion, interests, and commitment to positive social impact. With absolute peace of mind, travelers can indulge in bespoke yet immersive adventures with the help of Intriq Journey’s team of experienced Asian travel designers, who will anticipate, address, and resolve problems before they happen.
Helmed by three founders who pioneered expeditions into the unknown, Intriq Journey seeks to enhance discerning travelers’ discovery of hidden gems off the beaten path and inaccessible destinations to unveil local secrets with an Asian touch. From mindful adventures for weary post-pandemic travelers to heart-racing safari tours for adrenaline seekers, this travel curator holds the key to unlocking a side of Asia unknown to international guests while connecting Asian globetrotters with the world’s best.
“With over six decades of combined experience in successfully crafting bespoke travel journeys, we have leveraged our expertise with a comprehensive understanding of travelers’ evolving preferences,” says co-founder Jess Yap, who is based in Singapore. “Our aspiration for Intriq Journey is for guests to travel with total peace of mind to places they otherwise wouldn’t pick and leave all the research and planning to us.”
‘What separates us from others is that we believe travel should not only feel good, but do good as well.’
One of his co-founder, Lim Kok Yong, who is based in Hong Kong, agrees. “Intriq Journey has received prestigious appointments with travel networks such as Virtuoso, which allows us to offer guests unmatched travel privileges and hotel benefits,” he explains. “Aside from customized itineraries, our guests can also pick their journeys from our curated travel packages which include these exclusive perks.”
To Stella Fan, also a co-founder, based in Shanghai, what their company offers is an elevated experience of the world. “What separates us from others is that we believe travel should not only feel good, but do good as well,” she says. “In our planning, we combine close-knit local connections we have forged with communities over many years with the support for responsible, sustainable travel for journeys that truly intrigue.”
To encourage exploration in every corner of the world, the company has recently launched Intriq Finesse, a collection of luxury small group journeys aimed to showcase the very best of each destination. Guests are free from the hassles of tipping in overseas countries as the Intriq Journey team handles all tips to local guides, drivers, and porterage. They can simply relax and look forward to gaining special access to private sites and experiences curated through the team’s strong personal connections with local communities.
