Travel With Purpose

For the last 25 years we’ve been taking groups of travellers to unique and spectacular places, and know full well how impactful, inspiring and horizon-broadening exploring the world can be.

Over the years we have been building as many mutually beneficial, sustainable and responsible relationships as possible in the destinations that we visit, so they too are able to thrive.

Local Economic Empowerment

We believe travel should positively benefit the communities we visit. That’s why we prioritise locally-owned restaurants, hotels, and experiences that support local businesses and create sustainable livelihoods. When traveling with us, you help empower local artisans, entrepreneurs, guides, drivers and so many others, ensuring that tourism leaves a positive, lasting impact.

Respectful Cultural Experiences

We are committed to fostering meaningful, authentic, and respectful interactions with the communities we visit. Our tours are designed to celebrate local traditions, honour cultural heritage, and support experiences led by local experts. We encourage travellers to engage with an open mind, follow local customs, and contribute to the preservation of cultural identity in a responsible way.

Lower Impact Travel

We are reducing our environmental impact by building more rail journeys into our itineraries, and promoting low-season travel. Trains offer a greener alternative to flying, lowering carbon emissions while providing a more immersive travel experience. By promoting more departures in the low season, we also help ease pressure on popular destinations, support local economies year-round, and create a more sustainable way to explore the world.

Sustainable Tourism Education

We believe responsible travel starts with awareness. That’s why we provide our travellers with practical tips on reducing their environmental impact and supporting communities in a meaningful way. Through pre-departure resources and on-tour guidance, we empower our travellers to make informed, sustainable choices that help protect the destinations we visit for future generations.

Cambodia Scholarship Fund

Wendy Wu Tours founded a scholarship programme for 25 underprivileged children in Cambodia. The programme allows children in Siem Reap to access education, and all the associated individual and community benefits that come with this.

When the programme launched in November 2023, Wendy Wu Tours Owner and Founder, Wendy, said:

“Education is very close to my heart, a factor that has always and will always continue to guide and steer me in my lifelong journey in better myself, both professionally and personally. Children deserve the right to an education. However, there are so many who face incredible disadvantages and challenges that, very often, the struggle is just not feasible.

“This really does break my heart and so if we, at Wendy Wu Tours, can do anything to help and enrich even just a small fraction of these children’s’ lives through the scholarship programme, then we will have made some progress.”

She added: “Our commitment to the children in Siem Reap is a lifelong commitment and we hope, that over time, we’ll be able to develop the programme and help more children through education.”
