Inside Travel has announced its 2026 trade incentive program, offering travel advisors an opportunity to win a $20,000 vacation through its InsideJapan and InsideAsia brands.

The company introduced its first trade incentive in 2025 during its 25th anniversary year, generating more than 680 entries.

"After the success of last year's first-ever incentive, we wanted to keep that momentum going," said Gabo Quiros global trade manager at Inside Travel. "We're excited to once again give our agent partners the opportunity to win an incredible holiday and experience Inside Travel's cultural adventures firsthand."

The 2026 program coincides with the launch of the Inside Travel Agent Hub. Travel advisors can enter the grand prize drawing by attending at least one agent-focused webinar and making at least one booking before Dec. 31, 2026.

In addition to the main prize, Inside Travel is providing 10 complimentary spots for agents on InsideJapan or InsideAsia small-group tours to Japan or Korea. Advisors who book seven passengers earn a tour spot for themselves, while those who book 10 passengers can bring a companion.

The complimentary tour spots will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and apply to select off-peak 2027 departures of the Japan Unmasked, Discover Japan or Must-See Japan tours.

The program has attracted early interest, with 300 advisors registered since its recent launch.

"This incentive is about demonstrating our commitment to our partners," Quiros added. "The best way to understand what we do is to experience it exactly as our customers do."
