Wendy Wu Tours has started selling fully inclusive flight packages on its specialist tours in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Kelly Hutchinson has been named at the operator’s new business development manager for Ireland ahead of a dedicated brochure being issued with prices in euros. She previously worked in Barrhead Travel’s Belfast branch.
Departures are being offered from Dublin, Cork, Shannon as well as Belfast City in Northern Ireland.
Irish passport holders wanting to visit China no longer need a visa, making it easier to travel to the country.
Head of trade sales Gary King said: “The launch of our fully inclusive specialist tours in Ireland marks a monumental step forward for Wendy Wu Tours.
“For the first time, Irish travellers and agents can enjoy the ease and benefits of booking flight-inclusive packages from Ireland in sterling or euros, alongside our award-winning itineraries.
“The ability to fly from Dublin, Cork, Shannon or Belfast City provides unmatched flexibility and convenience, while the recent visa-free travel for Irish passport holders to China is a game-changer.
“We’re equally excited to welcome Kelly Hutchinson to the team. With her incredible experience and passion for travel, she’ll be instrumental in driving our continued success in Ireland.
“This expansion offers agents an unparalleled range of specialist tours and travel options to present to their customers, all backed by fantastic special offers.”
Previously, the operator sold only the land elements of a tour with prices in sterling.
Hutchinson added: “I’m absolutely thrilled to join Wendy Wu Tours and represent the touring specialist in Ireland. This is a fantastic opportunity for travel agents to provide their customers with truly unique and immersive travel experiences.”
“I can’t wait to get started – meeting agents across the region, participating in travel shows, store visits, and consumer events – to help them tap into the exciting potential this launch brings.”
