Inside Travel’s specialist brand InsideAsia has added Taiwan to its portfolio by launching seven new itineraries in response to growing demand for cultural adventure travel across Asia.
The expansion comes as interest continues to grow in destinations beyond more established Asian markets, such as Japan where sister brand InsideJapan has operated for more than 25 years.
InsideAsia said Taiwan is emerging as a strong option for travellers seeking cultural depth, food-led experiences and varied landscapes within a compact and accessible destination.
The launch includes standalone Taiwan itineraries alongside multi-country trips combining Taiwan with Japan and South Korea. All itineraries are designed to be tailor-made, allowing travel to be adapted to individual interests, budgets and timeframes.
Grant Ekelund, Taiwan Development Manager at Inside Travel, said: “Despite its size, the island offers remarkable diversity. Travellers can explore centuries-old temples, experience traditional tea culture, discover Indigenous heritage, hike national parks with a backdrop of huge mountains and enjoy arguably one of Asia’s best food scenes – all within a single journey.
“For those familiar with Japan or South Korea, Taiwan offers a unique but complementary perspective on the region. It is welcoming, easy to navigate, and ideal for both first-time and returning Asia travellers,” Ekelund added.
Inside Travel Co-Founder Alastair Donnelly commented: “Taiwan is a small island that has had a massively outsized impact on the entire world through its dominance of semiconductor manufacturing. Taiwan has it all – yet hasn’t caught the attention of many travellers in Western markets. It’s a destination under-served by travel companies and we’re here to change that.”
Many of InsideAsia’s suggested itineraries are fully customisable and include family-focused journeys, culinary trips, adventure routes and high-end options. Some of the multi-country combinations include internal rail travel and short-haul flights connecting key cities. These also include high-speed rail journeys, tea plantation visits and access to national parks.
