The Highlights Loyalty Program is designed to foster enduring relationships with our travelers, offering exclusive benefits ranging from diverse vouchers to special deals and updates on exciting destinations worldwide.
This program includes all travelers within the Highlights Travel Family, including Travel China, Highlights Travel, Japan Highlights, and Global Highlights.
We reward our travelers in two different ways: Explorers and Insiders.
Explorers: As soon as you select us for your first trip, our loyalty program for Explorers kicks in. Upon placing a deposit for your initial journey with Highlights Travel Family, we immediately provide you with at least 2 benefits that you can utilize during your current trip!
Insiders: With each adventure alongside Highlights Travel Family, Insiders move closer to unlocking exclusive benefits through our Loyalty Program. Embark on a journey of travel experiences that honor your loyalty with us.

Important update: use your voucher before it expires
Your voucher date is the date you must book by - not travel by. Travel later is fine; just book before it expires and show the voucher to your travel advisor.
Eg. Voucher valid until 31 Dec 2027 → book by 31 Dec 2027, travel in spring 2028. No problem.
From 1 Oct 2026, expired vouchers can no longer be reissued, extended, or redeemed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Referral Program
A referral is successful when a new traveler submits their first qualifying inquiry. The referred friend must not be an existing Highlights Travel customer—including anyone who has previously traveled with us, even if they were not the primary contact. (Existing customers should use loyalty vouchers instead.)
Note: inviting someone to join your own trip does not qualify as a referral.
