– TravelManagers had three personal travel managers lucky enough to be part of a mega familisation trip to celebrate the anniversary Helen Wong’s Tours operating tours to China for 25 years. The trip included approximately 80 travel professionals who were able to experience four of the Helen Wong’s Tours itineraries, all of which were seven days long. The individual itineraries covered:
• Vietnam (Saigon, Can Tho) and Shanghai All four itineraries were designed to mirror what the travel professionals clients would normally see, eat, where they’d stay and what they’d experience while on one of the Helen Wong’s Tours. The only difference being the educational was condensed into just seven days. Personal travel manager Michelle Kingston, representative for Pacific Pines in Queensland went to Vietnam and Shanghai. She says it was a quick but memory-filled trip. “It was outstanding from the start, we flew Cathay Pacific, stayed in four-five star hotels such as the Sofitel Plaza Saigon and the Ritz Carlton Shanghai and visited Saigon and the Mekong Delta. Helen Wong’s Tours is an incredible way to see China and Vietnam, it was seamless and the guides were great ambassadors who were full of tips and advice, such gems to pass on to clients.” Personal travel manager Tanya Patterson, representative for Clyde North in Victoria, travelled to Beijing and Shanghai with Air China, says the opportunities she gets for educationals being with TravelManagers is extensive. “TravelManagers place a huge emphasis on education and many of the famil opportunities are exclusive which is a direct result of our current sales volumes. Helen Wong’s Tours were a first for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it particularly visiting the major attractions of Beijing and staying at the Marriott City Wall Hotel and the Majesty Plaza Shanghai.” Personal travel manager Joanne Haines, representative for Berwick in Victoria went on the Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou flying with China Eastern Airlines and staying at the Sofitel Hanghzou, Holiday Inn Suzhou, and Grand Central Shanghai. Haines says it was a privilege to be part of the celebrations as the guests mainly consisted of traditional travel agents. “You can’t beat actually experiencing how a tour company operates. I was incredibly impressed with Helen Wong’s Tours and thrilled she saw the value inviting three of us from TravelManagers. This product is perfect for our clients who enjoy personalised service with attention to detail. I learnt so much and have no hesitation recommending this product to my clients.” All of the groups met together in Shanghai for one evening, where they attended a gala dinner at a venue overlooking Pudong, the famous Shanghai skyline. The guests were hosted by Helen Wong herself adding a fitting touch to the 25 year celebration.
