The special evening saw staff, clients and industry members join together to celebrate a quarter century of sending travellers on unforgettable cultural adventures.
Co-Founder Alastair Donnelly said the company had reached “un-imaginable heights” since it originated in 2000.
“It’s been an incredible journey. 25 years ago we started as a small travel business specialising in Japan and today we’ve grown into a multinational company with branches across four continents,” added Donnelly.
“We were fortunate to experience so many of the things that make Japan special – sumo tournaments, onsen baths, izakayas, karaoke, bullet trains – and we wanted to share those experiences with as many people as possible.
“That core desire is what inspired us to start our own travel company.
“Along the way, we launched our Asia specialist brand, InsideAsia, to offer travellers bespoke, off-the beaten-track journeys deep into the heart of Asia – bringing cultural depth and hands-on experiences in a way no other operator had done before.”
Looking ahead, Inside Travel remains focused on continuing to innovate in cultural adventure travel, curating journeys that combine classic sights, hands-on experiences and a slice of local life.

Shane Voss, Inside Travel ANZ Trade Partnership Manager, said next year will see a continued focus on equipping agents to sell South Korea, family travel to Southeast Asia and small group tours.
“We’re continuing to see strong momentum for travel to South Korea and our mission is to ensure agents are equipped with the information needed to effectively sell the destination,” added Voss.
“Our intimate small group tours running across Japan and South Korea are also a fantastic way for clients to experience the countries, with something for every type of traveller.”
