G Adventures lifts age ceiling on under-40s tours and reintroduces Tibet

He continued: "These are longer trips that have been traditionally more popular with younger travellers who typically have less money and more time.

"We certainly have a segment of customers who are growing older, yet still looking for a more ’rugged’ and exploratory style of adventure. These trips are perfect for them."

Tibet returns to G’s line-up for the first time since the pandemic following China’s decision to relax visa rules for a number of countries, while "trending" South Korea now features in G’s Classic range and can be paired with Japan.

Elsewhere, G’s Classic trips in Africa will feature a refurbished fleet of "Lando" overland vehicles, featuring better purified water dispensers, USB charging for each seat, and new camping equipment including upgraded tens, chairs and mattresses.

The operator added the Landos have also been made safer with the addition of "AI units" to improve efficiency and safety.

In Central America, meanwhile, the expansion opens up El Salvador and Hondurus, destinations previously only available through G on its 18-to-thirtysomethings trips.
