Intrepid Travel, the world’s largest adventure tourism experience provider, organised a special visit of its Founder and Chairman Darrell Wade to highlight the company’s 2030 strategy and the importance of India in their strategy.
As part of its commitment to its global teams, Intrepid Travel’s Co-founder and Chairman, who are based in Australia, are travelling to each one of the company’s 27 country offices this year to meet with Intrepid’s team and stakeholders to introduce the company’s 2030 strategy.
Intrepid Travel India currently employs 30 staff and 75 local trip leaders and operates 800 trips across the country. In 2023, it supported 7500 travellers to explore India. Each product offers in-depth local expertise and exceptional delivery. Intrepid’s local teams deliver innovative, competitive, low-risk, high-quality travel products to customers.
During his visit, Darrell Wade said, “Our goal is to increase the positive outcome of tourism on local communities by expanding our business. As a certified B Corp. with the highest social and environmental performance standard, this remains a key priority for us in India and around the world.”
Beyond India, the 2030 strategy involves an ambition to double its global customers to 600,000 (320,000 in 2023), achieve revenues of $1.3 billion ($565 million in 2023), and contribute 1% of revenue to purpose-driven initiatives. It plans to deepen its vertical integration to expand into areas including accommodation and grow its presence in key countries, including India, Jordan, and North America.
Intrepid supports local communities via its not-for-profit arm, the Intrepid Foundation. It has raised more than $15.5 million for communities worldwide since 2002. In India, the Intrepid Foundation works with Positive Change for Marine Life in Kovalam to protect the oceans and leave no trace of plastic.
Intrepid believes that by growing its business, it can achieve more positive outcomes for local communities from tourism. As a certified B Corp. with the highest social and environmental performance standards, this is a key priority for the business in India and around the world.
