“With over six decades of combined experience in successfully crafting bespoke travel journeys, we have leveraged our expertise with a comprehensive understanding of travellers’ evolving preferences,” said co-founder Jess Yap, who is based in Singapore. “Our aspiration for Intriq Journey is for guests to travel with a total peace of mind in each journey, to places they otherwise wouldn’t pick and leave all the research and planning to us.”
“Intriq Journey has received prestigious appointments with travel networks such as Virtuoso which allows us to offer guests unmatched travel privileges and hotel benefits,” said co-founder Lim Kok Yong, who is based in Hong Kong. “Aside from customised itineraries, our guests can also pick their journeys from our curated travel packages which includes these exclusive perks.”
“What separates us from others is that we believe travel should not only feel good, but do good as well,” said Stella Fan, Intriq Journey’s co-founder in Shanghai. “In our planning, we combine close-knit local connections we have forged with communities over many years with the support for responsible, sustainable travel for journeys that truly intrigue.”
To encourage exploration of intrigue in every corner of the world, the company has recently launched Intriq Finesse, a collection of luxury small group journeys aimed to showcase the very best of each destination. Guests are free from the hassles of tipping in overseas countries as the Intriq Journey team handles all tips to local guides, drivers and porterage. They can simply relax and look forward to gaining special access to private sites and experiences curated through the team’s strong personal connections with local communities.
