Intrepid Travel is touring Japan this week with Channel Seven’s Sunrise program. The week long broadcast will see the weather presented from various locations across Japan, one of Intrepid’s hottest destinations. The leaders in adventure travel are also offering 10 per cent off all Japan trips for a limited time.
“We are thrilled to be hosting Sam Mac and the Sunrise weather team across Japan this week – beaming audiences across Australia into one of our hottest destinations,” Intrepid Travel
Regional Director Asia Pacific Brett Mitchell said.
Intrepid have seen a 44 per cent increase in Australians departing for Japan in 2019 compared to the same time last year. The latest from the Australian Bureau of Statistics also found Japan recorded a 17 per cent increase in visitation from Australians in 2017, meaning it’s now our
seventeenth most popular international destination.
“With so much to see and do, Japan is popular amongst every type of traveller including families, solo travellers, foodies and those looking for an active adventure. Our local tour leaders
ensure that travellers have an immersive experience exploring a mix of popular and off-the-beaten track locations,” added Brett.
