Have you always wanted to see the glorious cherry blossoms in Japan? How about taking a walk on the Great Wall of China or witnessing the awesome spectacle of Xian's Terracotta Warriors?

How about gazing upon the monument to love, India's Taj Mahal, luminous at sunrise, or holding your breath as you spot a magnificent Bengal tiger in the wild in the country's Ranthambore National Park?

Maybe you're longing to feel the euphoric sensation of mist on your face from the massive Iguazu Falls stretching across the border of Argentina and Brazil. Or to dance the samba in Rio.

Well, if you have a dream destination on your bucket list then now is the time to make it a reality.

Australia's leading touring specialist Wendy Wu Tours is having its biggest sale ever, with significant savings across all destinations including Japan, China, Southeast Asia, India, Sri Lanka, Central Asia and Latin America.

Savings of up to $4,000 per couple are available on a wide selection of departures (over 690 dates in fact!) for travel in 2024 and 2025. Japan's popular cherry blossom and autumn leaves seasons dates are also featured in the sale.

"Australia is still enjoying an overseas travel boom, so what better time to incentivise travellers and extend our lowest prices to include every destination we offer worldwide. It's a sure fast way to beat any price increases that might be on the horizon," says Wendy Wu Tours Australia Managing Director, Simon Bell.

Mr Bell reports that travel demands are proving resilient in the face of economic headwinds in Australia, saying that in launching its 'Biggest Ever Sale' the company's aim is to reward those still making travel plans, by making it more affordable than ever to plan and book their holiday early.

It's a fantastic, positive update for all Australians dreaming of exploring China's rich culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes as a holiday experience."

One of the great features of booking a Wendy Wu tour is the comprehensive inclusions on each tour.

If a visa is required, the cost for Australian passports is included and they'll also assist with processing. All you need to do is relax and immerse yourself in the experience.
