The announcement came as the cultural adventure travel specialist unveiled the winner of its 2025 ‘Not Another Boring Prize’. The inaugural promotion was introduced last year to mark Inside Travel’s 25th anniversary.
This year’s winner, Elyse Palmer from TravelManagers, will embark on a personalised cultural adventure created by Inside Travel’s expert teams.
“I still can’t quite believe it. It honestly still feels like a dream. I’m so incredibly grateful and excited,” said Elyse (pictured left with Shane Voss, Inside Travel’s ANZ Trade Partnerships Manager.)
“I’m already dreaming up ways to turn this into a truly once in a lifetime trip and can’t wait to start planning something special.
“What I love most about Inside Travel is that their itineraries go beneath the surface – they really help travellers connect with local people and culture. I know this trip is going to be something I’ll talk about for the rest of my life.”
The 2026 incentive launches alongside the new Inside Travel Agent Hub. To enter, agents simply need to attend at least one agent‑focused webinar and make a minimum of one booking before the end of 2026.
“After the amazing response to last year’s first‑ever incentive, we’re thrilled to keep the momentum going,” said Shane Voss.
“Our trade partners are such a big part of what we do, and we want to continue offering opportunities for them to experience an Inside Travel cultural adventure first hand.”
In addition to the major prize, Inside Travel is once again offering 10 complimentary places for agents on any InsideJapan or InsideAsia small group tour to Japan or Korea.
“Small Group Tours are more popular than ever and we’re challenging agents to book seven passengers for a spot on one of our tours, or 10 passengers to secure a place for themselves and a plus one,” added Mr Voss.
The 2026 incentive runs until December 2026. Full incentive details can be found at: https://trade.insidetravelgroup.com/au/incentives.
