Wendy Wu Tours are extending priority access to the 2017 Early Bird Savings to the trade, before the offer is widely promoted to consumer markets.

The exclusive priority access period starts at 10am on Thursday 6 July, and runs until 10am on Friday 14 July. This annual Early Bird promotion is the biggest selling period of the year for agents booking with Wendy Wu.

“I wanted to say thank you to my travel agents for their ongoing support of Wendy Wu Tours over the last 23 years,” Founder and Chairwoman, Wendy Wu said.

“Therefore, I would like to welcome agents to offer their client’s an exclusive ‘first look’, before the phone lines open.”

The trade priority access guarantees travel agents the best possible availability, especially for special events such as Japan’s Cherry Blossom season, and the opportunity to really cash-in on commissions.

Any bookings made during the priority access period will also secure your clients an additional saving of $100 per booking. Plus, during the sale, deposits are a tiny $99 – our lowest ever – making it even easier for agents to secure those bookings.

To equip agents with all the tools they’ll need to help get your 2018 business off with a bang, Wendy Wu Tours have developed a full marketing suite for travel agents to share with their clients, including a 2018 Early Bird brochure.
