The operator said it had seen a "significant upturn in demand" for worldwide travel in 2021 and 2022 since news of the forthcoming Covid-19 vaccines were announced. 

As such, Wendy Wu is extending its current free 2021 and 2022 worldwide flights promotion for a final two weeks, until 14 December. 

The operator has also added New Zealand to the list, so agents can now book clients free flights to New Zealand, South America, Japan, south-east Asia, India, the Middle East and China, from all UK airports and with all airlines, on 29 of Wendy Wu’s flagship fully escorted tours. 
 
John Warr, global sales director at Wendy Wu, said: “We have long believed that travel will recover with a considerable bounceback as soon as a vaccine was available. 

"News now of the imminent vaccines is proving this to be correct and is one major step in the right direction for the whole of the travel industry and a positive step for the entire world.

“We’re seeing some really positive support from the trade with agent engagement at its highest level since the pandemic hit. 

"Our webinars are proving to be a huge success, so much so that the demand has prompted us to vastly increase our schedule for 2021. 

"Our number one priority now is to help our agents reap the benefits of this upturn in travel confidence and so, as we come out of lockdown, we have decided to extend our current free worldwide flights promotion for a final 14 days to help agents make up for lost time during lockdown. 

"This is great news for agents and, of course, will help them to incur some healthy commissions, averaging around £1,400 commission per tour.”
