wendy wu travel agents

After conquering the Australian travel market, in 2004 Wendy Wu came to the UK to establish what was to become the leading UK tour operator to Asia from the UK, picking up sacks of awards on the way. In 2013 Wendy decided, with sales of group tours ever increasing, to bring the concept of tailormade tours over from Australia: <a href="https://unpei.ac.id/slotpulsa/">Slot pulsa tanpa potongan</a> <a href="https://unpei.ac.id/slot-gacor/">slot gacor</a> <a href="https://unpei.ac.id/slot-demo/">slot demo</a> "Our Australian office has been offering tailormade tours to Asia for over ten years and it is a core part of the company. The time was right for me to share this expertise in the UK", says Wendy. And so Asia Inspirations was born, to focus solely on the needs of individuals who are looking for unique and flexible itineraries, designed by them and created by our team of Asia experts. If you are looking for help to experience the real Asia, you've come to the right place!

The world’s largest and most populous continent, Asia is a vibrant and rambunctious fusion of ethnicities, cultures and customs; an incomparably rich and turbulent history showcased by mindboggling feats of architecture and engineering; a geography that encompasses towering peaks, unfathomable gorges and paradisiacal beaches; and a biodiversity that is so abundant that you’ll be reaching for your wildlife guide.  Slot pulsa tanpa potongan slot gacor slot demo

Why tailormade?

• Create a bespoke itinerary that fulfils your travel dreams
• Travel where you want, when you want, for as long as you want
• Pick the grade and style of accommodation you are most comfortable with
• Add all or any of the elements you want – meals, excursions, guides
• You’re completely in control – it’s all up to you

Wendy Wu Tours launches new and improved ‘Wuniversity’ – the online training portal for agents

Contributors are not employed, compensated or governed by TD, opinions and statements are from the contributor directly

Escorted touring specialists, Wendy Wu Tours, have launched a new, improved and completely refreshed version of their online training portal for agents, Wuniversity. Housed on the operator’s dedicated agents’ website,  www.wendywutours.co.uk/agents  , the tool enables agents to learn about the diverse destinations, experiences, and touring styles available from Wendy Wu. Once agents have completed all training modules in Wuniversity, they will be awarded a ‘Wendy Wu Tours Specialist Agent’ certificate and badge.

In addition to Wuniversity, the dedicated agents’ website also includes a new, quick, and easy reference tool, called the ‘Matrix’, which gives agents all the top ‘need to know’ facts and figures across all the operator’s destinations, as well as linking destinations and countries with supporting tours that travel to and through respective destinations. The dedicated agent’s website, which now includes the Matrix and revamped Wuniversity, now provides agents with access to a huge range of knowledge. Agents can easily access all of Wendy Wu Tours’ product information, read destination and country highlights, as well as finding about incentives, fam trips and upcoming educationals and training programmes. Independent agents and homeworkers can also access this wealth of knowledge, via the agents’ website, whenever they want to learn about the operator’s latest initiatives, news, and destinations.

Wendy Wu Tours to host 100 agents on first China megafam

• Share on WhatsApp
• Share by email

Wendy Wu Tours is to run its first megafam for 100 agents to China in May.

The group, which will be made up of agents from the UK, Australia and New Zealand, will visit Zhangjiajie, the backdrop for the film Avatar , and delegates will “be treated like royalty every step of the way”, according to founder Wendy Wu, who will also join the trip.

She said the agents – a mixture of high street retailers and homeworkers – will stay in the best hotels and have the finest experiences, including seeing world class shows, directed by Zhangyimou, director of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Starting in Chang Sha, voted as the number one city in China for nightlife, the group will then travel to Zhangjiajie where they will walk over the suspended glass walkway, zipline into the middle of the valley, ascend the mountain in a rocket lift and try a virtual reality hot air balloon ride.

They will also take in a boat ride on the Boafeng Lake and watch shows staged inside Heaven’s Gate Cave leading to Tianmen Mountain, incorporating singing, dancing and acrobatics.

“We will have a full banquet afterwards. It’s going to blow our agent partners away,” said Wu. “The scenery and the atmosphere is just spectacular.”

Wu revealed details of the trip at an event held at its new offices in London.

Designed to “empower travel agents with in-depth knowledge and confidence in specialist touring”, the ‘Introduction to Specialist Touring’ event last month saw more than 70 agents learn about Wendy Wu Tours’ destinations and the diverse touring styles within its collection.

Agents were presented with certificates and future booking incentives, recognising their induction into the new agent touring group, with the evening culminating with an array of Chinese cuisine.

Gary King, head of trade sales at Wendy Wu Tours, said: “It was an absolute thrill to witness the agents immerse themselves in the world of specialist touring. Our dedication to nurturing their talents is unwavering, and this event is just the beginning of a transformative journey we are excited to share with our travel partners.”

Claire Brighton, director of the Association of Touring & Adventure Suppliers (Atas) , added: “Wendy Wu Tours’ initiative is a significant step forward for the industry. Equipping agents with such expertise is pivotal for the growth of the touring and adventure sector, offering travellers more nuanced and enriching travel options.”

Wendy Wu Tours plans to maintain momentum from the event by engaging with attendees over the next three months, providing access to the ‘Wuniversity’ training portal and planning a subsequent event later in the year.

“This strategic focus underscores the importance of equipping agents with the tools to sell specialist touring effectively, ushering in a new era of travel expertise,” Wu added.

Wendy wu tours relaunches 'wuniversity' agent training portal.

Wendy Wu Tours says it has completely refreshed its in-house "Wuniversity" agent training portal and equipped it with a new "one-stop" easy reference tool the operator has called "the Matrix".

The operator said the new-look portal would continue to evolve over time with the addition of new training content corresponding to new destinations, tours, programmes, experiences, touring styles and brochures.

The Matrix, meanwhile, puts key "need to know" facts and figures across all Wendy Wu Tours destinations at agents’ fingertips, and aims to link destinations and countries with supporting tours.

Once agents have completed all Wuniversity training modules, they will be awarded Wendy Wu Tours Specialist Agent certification.

Other information available from the portal include product background, and destination and country highlights, as well as details of agent fams, educationals and training programmes.

Find the latest contacts in our travel supplier directory

Gary King, Wendy Wu Tours head of trade sales, said: "We have a fantastic relationship with the trade, who have supported and stuck by us over the last two years.

"Now, with international travel returning to normal, we want to give our agents all the knowledge and tools to equip them with the passion and confidence to both attract and retain customers in the touring sector, helping their businesses to grow, and give them the confidence to offer the best Wendy Wu tour to their clients.

"Our fully supported and interactive agents’ website, encompassing our new-look Wuniversity programme and completely new Matrix tool, offers all agents and homeworkers alike a one-stop shop to find everything they need to know and learn through a few easy clicks."

King added: “Wuniversity is a live system and will be reviewed and refreshed as part of our ongoing development and that of our agents. As new destinations, tours and brochures are added to the portfolio, we will add associated and respective training modules to Wuniversity to help agents increase sales and grow business."
