    Wendy Wu Tours will run its first mega-famil for 100 travel agents to China this month, as interest in the destination steadily increases.

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

    She said the agents – a mixture of retailers and independent agents – 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 the No. 1 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.

    “The Bailong Elevator, which travels 326 metres up one of the park’s 3,000 pillars, has won not one but three Guinness Book of World Records awards, for the tallest full-exposure outdoor elevator, the world’s tallest double-deck sightseeing elevator, and the world’s fastest passenger traffic elevator with the biggest carrying capacity. Our guests will love it.”

    They will also take a boat ride on the Baofeng 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 are just spectacular.”
