“For the past 6 years, we’ve valued our Active Membership with ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø. We have restructured our US operations and are upbeat with launching our new digitalized business model soon in the US. In addition, we’ve partnered with prominent ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø tour operators through our DMC China business and will continue to do so locally. For our existing agents and their bookings, rest assured our service offerings will remain unaltered. We look forward in associating with ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø again in the near future.” said Joe Karbo, Group CEO.
Dale added that Wendy Wu Tours has been a valued partner since 2012 and appreciates the support the company provided to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø. “We look forward welcoming Wendy Wu Tours back as a member in the future,” he said.
