News on Visit Porto & the North of Portugal, India Exotica Travels, Walkers Tours & ArTravele, Fez Travel, Yadi Travel, Vio Travel & Tomorrow Travel
Hello Karen,
I'm just back from two wonderful weeks in Japan with my family — beautifully planned by our partners at Vio Travel and my daughter— and still catching my breath after the shrines, the bullet trains, and far too much waigu.
I'll begin sharing notes and highlights from the trip in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, this month's Insider is packed with news from across Europe and Asia: new tours, fresh promotions, on-the-road events with Paula, Ana, and our parterns and a few stories I think you'll enjoy.
Thank you, as always, for reading.
Warmly, Jane & the ED Team
