Meet our Destination Managers!
One of the best aspects of Imaginative Traveller is our fantastic Destination Managers. These are our representatives based in the destinations where they operate, plan and manage our tours. This means every year they know exactly what is going to be an up and coming destination for travellers, and if there are are ever any problems on the ground they can act quickly.
Meet JP - an experienced tour-leader and now Destination Manager based in China!
A single traveller in Syria
One of the most fantastic parts of working for Imaginative Traveller is hearing about the wonderful adventures our customers experience when they travel with us. We were recently sent this fantastic diary from a single traveller after her recent trip to Syria, a very popular destination at the moment! If you are thinking of visiting Syria, or just interested in booking one of our adventures as a single traveller - make sure you read this great insight from Ellie Parker!
The Naadam Festival and why you should visit Mongolia
Naadam is Mongolia's biggest and best festival, a summer fair featuring traditional sports, foods, and folk dancing. The festivities take place in nearly all provincial capitals, but the event is liveliest in the national capital, Ulaan Baatar.
Adventure tour of the week - The Great China Adventure
After the success of last week's Trip of the Week ( East Africa Safari Tour), this week we're heading to the Far East and featuring The Great China Adventure.

Amongst the Maharajahs - a tour of a lifetime!
Fantastic news for fans of all our tours in India! 
Amongst the Maharajahs has been selected as one of the "National Geographic Traveler Magazine's 2009 Tours of a Lifetime!". Here at Imaginative Traveller we are extremley proud of our team in India, and it shows just the fantastic product we have!
Hans, our Destination manager in India is obviously pleased, and says the following:
Good luck to our very own Imaginative Traveller - Helene Cooper - who is running the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April!
Everyone here at Imaginative Traveller wishes her all the best particularly as only 6 months ago she had her first child! Let's hope she doesn't feel she needs to bring the buggy along for the run!
Good luck Helene!
