Globus has expanded its Asia and Africa line up with a range of new itineraries available to book now for 2027 and 2028 departures.
The new additions span destinations across both regions, from Japan and South Korea to Sri Lanka and East Africa, including several new Small Group Discovery itineraries.
Johanna Raeder, Head of Marketing APAC, Globus family of brands, said the new itineraries reflected growing Australian appetite for travel that goes beyond the highlights.
“Asia and Africa consistently rank among the most-wanted destinations for Australian travellers and these new additions are designed to meet that demand with something more considered,” said Johanna.
“Small Group Discovery tours are built for travellers who want genuine access, whether that’s a personal briefing at the DMZ from a North Korea defector, a 4WD safari vehicle shared with just five other guests, or a hands-on pottery workshop with local artisans in Sri Lanka. These are experiences that simply aren’t possible at scale.”
