Wendy Wu Tours launches China Business Class upgrade offer

Edited by Travel Weekly

Wendy Wu Tours has launched an exclusive business class upgrade offer on selected 2025 China tours, available until 30 November 2024.

This exclusive offer invites travellers departing from Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane to elevate their journey in the skies, starting from just $399 per person one way or $1,399 return, flying with Cathay Pacific. Perth departures are also available with an additional supplement.

Added comfort on China adventures

The limited time offer gives travellers the chance to experience enhanced comfort and service on Cathay Pacific’s award-winning business class, ensuring a truly seamless journey to and from China. With spacious lie-flat seats, personalised 4k entertainment, adjustable lighting, and curated menus of international and signature Hong Kong dishes, travellers can enjoy an elevated onboard experience that begins the moment they board. Exclusive amenities, such as luxury Bamford skincare products and access to Cathay’s premium lounges worldwide, allow travellers to arrive feeling rested and refreshed.

Travellers can choose from 15 expertly curated itineraries, including the popular China by Rail tour, which has two eligible departures leaving on 23 August and 6 September 2025. The 22-day fully inclusive journey covers a diverse array of iconic destinations, from the scenic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to the historic lanes of Tunxi, Dali, and Lijiang. Guests will experience China’s remarkable landscapes and history with highlights such as the Yellow Mountain, celebrated in Chinese art and literature for centuries, and the chance to unwind with scenic cruises along the Li River and Huangpu River.

Growing demand and new Visa-free travel boost

Wendy Wu Tours Australia managing director, Simon Bell, reports that Australian interest in travelling to China has surged in recent months, particularly since June, when Australia was added to China’s 15-day visa-free entry list.

“China’s Visa-free entry policy has been a catalyst in heightened interest for trips to the Chinese mainland,” Bell said. “Increased flight frequencies and new routes connecting Australia to China have further fueled this growth, with personal incentives, like this business class upgrade offer, making it an ideal time for Australians to experience China’s diverse landscapes, cities, and cultures for themselves in 2025.”

Australia now ranks as the fifth-largest source of tourists to China, with demand rising for tours that take in destinations such as Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Chongqing, Chengdu and Hangzhou, plus emerging nature destinations like Zhangjiajie in Hunan province.
