Intrepid Travel

The Activator's going to be just before 4 o'clock, so be listening for that.

If you're keen on a free holiday, thanks to Intrepid Travel.

Right now, though, we're going to do tradie versus lady.

$50 is on the line and the glory of the win.

That part of the business has evolved.

REI now promotes REI-curated trips operated by Intrepid Travel, with member savings available on eligible experiences.

Destinations, itineraries, prices, and discounts change, so travelers should use the current REI travel page rather than relying on older trip examples.

Guided travel can be useful for someone who wants local leadership, an organized itinerary or support while trying a new type of adventure.

Coming up on the show today, your chance to win ZM's World Tour again this week.

Go on the draw thanks to Intrepid Travel to get to Morocco.

You and a partner, a friend, your bestie, whoever you want to take.

Stranger on the street.

So it is just beautiful.

But this time I was traveling with Intrepid Travel, which has 11 different trips that really cover everything.

You know, there's so much to do in the country.

There's cycling tours, safari, food tours and stuff.

And I'm Jen Malia, Senior Editor at Travel Pulse Canada.

Joining us today is the man at the helm of Intrepid Travel, CEO James Thornton.

Today, we're talking about the 2027 Not Hot List, how a destination actually earns a place on it, whether social media is making over-tourism worse, and why sometimes the best travel recommendation an advisor can make is somewhere their client has never heard of.

James, welcome to You Came to the Right Place.

Oh.

Thanks to, uh, Intrepid Travel, up for grabs, we got an epic 10-day adventure.

I'd love this.

Me too.

But this week, we are going to bring you another hot take.

At this time, we are chatting about Intrepid Travel's 2027 Not Hot List, which is an annual list that reveals the top 10 overlooked destinations that deserve your attention.

So all 10 places on the list are lesser visited.

They are also ready to support more visitors.

There's a new gourmet tourism travel route in northern Latvia and more connectivity with Scandinavian air and air Baltic increasing flights across the destinations.

So that is the top 10 list from

the Intrepid Travel's hot take.

And we will put a link to the full list in the show notes.

I still say the other one sounds a bit shit-ass for me, but he can convince me.

Maybe Intrepid Travel can fly me over and I'll be convinced.

And I'll pay someone $150 to do a reel on it.

Anyway, I miss Chom.
