If Only offers Japan and China for first time

If Only has unveiled new destinations and expanded ranges in its 2020-21 brochures for the Far East; Caribbean, Mexico & Bermuda; and India & Sri Lanka.

The Far East brochure features Japan and China for the first time, while the Caribbean, Mexico & Bermuda brochure adds Dominica, Puerto Rico, St Barts, Saint Martin and the British Virgin Islands.

Meanwhile, the luxury operator – acquired last month by Elegant Resorts owner Portman Travel Group – has created a new reservations team dedicated to India and Sri Lanka to focus on these two destinations.

Alison Murphy, product and commercial manager for Asia, Australasia, India & Sri Lanka, said: “Not only will we launch Japan and China as new destinations, but we’ve introduced 118 properties in total, as well as expanding our touring itineraries and adding bespoke river cruise options.
