Wendy Wu launches safety pledge and boosts long-haul product

To help further boost sales, the operator is giving customers the chance to “fly their partner for free” to Asia and South America throughout 2021 and 2022, saving up to £800 per couple – or if travelling solo – is giving a 50% saving on airfare.

Wendy Wu’s global sales director John Warr said a recent survey of customers cited safety as their “number one travel concern”.

“The desire for travel is strong, in fact Japan, Vietnam and Central Asia, came out as the top must-see destinations for 2021 and beyond, however the safety element is a priority,” said Warr.

“We took all of these concerns onboard and, over the past six months, have been in consultation with our team, guides, ground handlers as well as local overseas governments, and have developed a pioneering and fully comprehensive set of Covid-19 health and safety guidelines, in line with UNWTO, WTTC and WHO regulations, which are by far the most comprehensive in the industry.

“We know how difficult this time has been for everyone and its impact on travel plans which is why we’ve taken the unprecedented decision to go all out and give our customers a range of unique offers, quite frankly the best in the industry, across all 2021 and 2022 holidays.”
