This partnership marks the launch of First Class Holidays' first-ever Asia touring programme, offering a variety of fully inclusive, expertly crafted tours to Japan through its travel agent network
With Wendy Wu Tours’ extensive portfolio and award-winning itineraries, this collaboration promises to bring unparalleled opportunities for UK travellers seeking immersive cultural experiences across Japan, including the iconic cherry blossom season and the lesser-known gems of the country.
The new partnership enables First Class Holidays to provide agents with a wide range of specialist Japan tours that cater to travellers’ desires to explore not only iconic landmarks like Mount Fuji and Tokyo but also off-the-beaten-path locations. The packages on offer will cover flights, accommodation, guided tours and authentic culinary experiences. The tours, set for 2025 and 2026, offer an in-depth look into Japan's vibrant culture, history, and natural beauty.
Gary King, head of trade sales at Wendy Wu Tours, said, "We are thrilled to partner with First Class Holidays for the launch of their Japan touring programme. Our Japan tours offer the largest range of departure dates and itineraries, ensuring agents can provide their customers with the most comprehensive options on the market. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene beauty of rural Japan, we’ve designed these tours to showcase the very best of the country."
Lorna Curry, head of product at First Class Holidays, said, “Japan is a natural fit for our portfolio, and the demand for travel to Japan is at an all-time high. Partnering with Wendy Wu Tours allows us to provide our agents with the best Japan itineraries available. From must-see destinations like Kyoto and Hiroshima to hidden gems that only a specialist like Wendy Wu can uncover, these tours will offer travellers authentic and unforgettable experiences. With peak seasons like cherry blossom and autumn foliage selling fast, we encourage agents to book early to secure the best availability for their clients.”
