Wendy Wu Tours has introduced a Tour and Beach Collection, in response to what it says is an increasing demand from customers for multi-centre touring holidays.
With a 25% year-on-year increase of customers adding short-stay extensions and one in three Wendy Wu travellers now extending their trips, the new programme, which launched on May 5, offers a combination of cultural attractions and more relaxed beach time.
It features 13 itineraries, including three new escorted group tours and a range of flexible combination options pairing Wendy Wu’s best-selling tours with curated beach stays – so one itinerary, one price and one seamless booking.
Three new flagship tours have been designed to deliver a complete touring and beach experience in a single package.
Gary King, Head of Trade Sales at Wendy Wu Tours, said: “We’re seeing a clear shift in how customers are booking — more people want to combine high-impact touring with time to unwind, and they want it packaged in a simple, seamless way.
“This collection gives agents exactly that. Instead of building itineraries piece by piece, they now have one product, one price and one straightforward booking journey. It makes the sale quicker; increases booking value and meets a demand we’re already seeing across multiple destinations.”
