China specialist operator Wendy Wu Tours has confirmed ex-Kuoni sales director Manuel Mascarenhas as managing director following the departure of Laurence Hicks.
Mascarenhas joins following a 30 year travel industry career including spells at British Airways, Thomson and Thomas Cook Signature.
“Wendy Wu Tours has very ambitious growth plans over the next couple of years,” he said.
“The all inclusive proposition has huge appeal in our customer sector and relevance in the current climate.
“Our core strength is China and will always be, but we will continue to add new destinations, Indochina being the most recent.
“What is exciting is the prospect of developing the special interest groups market and being creative with our product offering.
“None of this growth will be possible without the support of the UK travel trade and we will invest in building and nurturing closer, long term relationships with travel agents.”
