Around the World from Your Armchair

Wendy Wu Tours

Wendy Wu Tours, the UK's leading Asia travel specialists, have been finding ways to spread joy during these uncertain times. With international travel halted for the time being due to the coronavirus, the operator is determined to awaken the wanderlust in their travel-loving customers and fellow agents by hosting online tours.

The online tours make up a series named 'Around the World from your Armchair' and take viewers on a virtual trip to some of Wendy Wu's best-selling destinations and ventures into newer regions. Each session is hosted by a Wendy Wu Tours expert who guides viewers through the many highlights, must-see attractions and unique experiences found in each destination, with every episode ending with the opportunity for viewers to speak to the expert via a live Q&A session.

Commenting on the idea behind the series, John Warr, global sales director at Wendy Wu Tours said: β€œIt's so important to keep spirits high during these difficult times, not only for our customers but also for fellow industry experts. As we find ourselves with a little more time at home than usual, we thought what better way to inspire future adventures than a virtual trip to the amazing destinations that await once travel opens up again. We've seen a great level of engagement with these online sessions so far and we're sure this will continue for the next ones.”

So far, these online tours have taken over 500 customers and 200 agents on virtual trips to China and Japan with three dedicated sessions across two days. Wendy Wu Tours has a jam-packed schedule over the next few weeks with every day focussing on a different destination for each 'Around the World from your Armchair' episode, including Latin America, India, Southeast Asia and Central Asia.
