INTRO Travel Predicts 2025’s Top Travel Hotspots


They’re Giving Away a Free Trip!

As young travellers look ahead to 2025, certain destinations are already emerging as must-visit hotspots. According to INTRO Travel—an Australian-founded group tour company that has been curating immersive travel experiences for 20 years—next year’s top picks will be all about cultural depth, vibrant cities, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

To mark two decades of adventure, INTRO is hosting a free gelato giveaway at Coogee Beach on Friday, January 31st, from 2–5pm, where visitors can not only indulge in gelato inspired by these destinations but also enter a draw to win a free group tour. Here are INTRO’s top travel predictions for 2025:

1. Thailand – The Ultimate Backpacker Playground

Thailand remains a favourite among young travellers, offering everything from island-hopping in the Andaman Sea to buzzing night markets in Bangkok. Its affordability, legendary Full Moon Parties, and rich cultural experiences—like temple visits and Muay Thai classes—make it a top pick for adventure seekers.

2. Japan – A Perfect Mix of Tradition and Modernity

With its futuristic cities, ancient temples, and renowned food culture, Japan continues to climb the bucket lists of global travellers. INTRO’s Japan Adventure tour highlights experiences like matcha tea ceremonies in Kyoto, exploring neon-lit streets in Tokyo, and soaking in onsen hot springs—making it a must-visit in 2025.

3. India – A Feast for the Senses

From the majestic Taj Mahal to the bustling streets of Mumbai, India offers an intoxicating mix of history, spirituality, and vibrant culture. Young travellers are increasingly drawn to its diverse landscapes and rich culinary scene, with favourites like mango lassi (also featured as a gelato flavour at the Coogee Beach event) embodying the country’s flavours.

4. Croatia – Sailing into 2025 in Style

With its crystal-clear waters and medieval coastal towns, Croatia is fast becoming Europe’s go-to summer escape. The Croatia Sail Adventure—which takes travellers along the Dalmatian coast—has been one of INTRO’s most popular experiences, offering a blend of beach-hopping, cultural exploration, and laid-back Mediterranean vibes.

To celebrate 20 years of unforgettable travel experiences, INTRO Travel is inviting locals and visitors to join them at Coogee Beach on Friday, January 31st, from 2–5pm.
