Brian Young

With over 30 years of experience, Brian Young’s career in the travel sector has taken him from a bright-eyed 19 year old club rep, working for Club 18-30 to Managing Director of G Adventures across the EMEA region. Young joined the global adventure operator in March 2015, drawn to its unique approach to purpose-driven travel, diverse styles of travel and product and ambitious company growth strategy. 

With innovation at the forefront of G Adventures, Young’s own entrepreneurial background as the founder of On Holiday Group and Holiday Taxis has equipped him to lead his team of over 80 office staff, continuing to challenge the industry, set trends and cement G Adventures the leader in adventure travel. Passionate about travel changing the lives of people in the destinations travellers visit, Brian has visited a number of G Adventures community tourism projects, including the Salaam Balaak Trust city tour in Delhi and the Hagi Homestay in Japan, where he saw first hand the impact travel can have on local people.
