Welcome

TO wENDy wu TOuRSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; LATEST RANgE Of hOLIDAyS TO JAPAN, TAIwAN AND SOuTh kOREA.

Now in my twentieth year of taking tour groups to Asia, I am still as excited and enthralled as in my first years at the prospect of exploring the countries that make up this fascinating and beautiful region of the world, and creating holidays from them for our customers to enjoy. And so I am especially pleased to bring you Wendy Wu Tours new brochure for 2014 to Japan, Taiwan and South Korea together with Mongolia, Hong Kong and Macau. For some years now we have featured a few packages for these countries in the back of our China brochure to gauge how much interest there would be from our customers to visit them. The result was an emphatic yes, we want to go there, so we have prepared this standalone brochure for 2014. Each of the countries visited by Wendy Wu Tours has its own special attractions from big and grandiose sites such as Mt. Fuji in Japan, Fo Guang Shan Monastery in Taiwan to the island of Jeju off the south coast of South Korea. And for every visitor to Asian countries there will be a number of experiences that will stand out as the special highlights. It is those highlights that we endeavour to ensure on all the itineraries we offer across the region to make your holiday a wonderful experience. We are constantly discovering these wonderful highlights and many ideas come from our own customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comments, while others are from the personal travel of our own staff both from Australia and our offices overseas. When planning for 2014 we had a great deal of feedback to assist us in deciding what to include and so we have added some new independent packages to this brochure; the most fascinating one being the seven day Japan Impressions (page 15). In South Korea we now include a Busan and Gyeongju Short Stay (page 25), visiting two UNESCO World Heritage Temples; the magnificent Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto. Our fully inclusive group tour prices make for great value holidays. With the wide range of different independent itineraries we offer, I am confident that whether you are a first time visitor to Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Mongolia or if this will be your second, third or even fourth visit to these countries, you will find something in this brochure to suit your interests and your budget. I wish you a very enjoyable holiday experience in 2014. Happy travelling!

GREAT TOURS Specialising in tours within the Asia region and supported by a team with almost 40 years’ experience in the travel industry, we are able to present you with the very best each country has to offer. Our programmes visit everything from major tourist attractions to the hidden treasures in beautiful and fascinating rural areas. When combined, they offer a diverse mix of history, culture, scenery and unique experiences.

YOUR FIRST CONTACT Our knowledgeable and well-trained staff are more than happy to provide you with detailed information relating to our tour products, advice on which itinerary in our extensive product range is ideal for you, or alternatively, design a personalised itinerary based on your specific needs.

VALUE FOR MONEY Wendy Wu Tours has always thrived on its motto of ‘value for money’, which is reflected in our entire product range. We believe that this approach to group travel allows our customers to receive the very best prices by consolidating all of the tour components into one costeffective package.

OUR PARTNERS OVERSEAS Our tours and independent arrangements would not be as successful as they are without our solid working relationship with our local partners in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Mongolia, Hong Kong and Macau. With years of experience operating tours throughout their respective areas, you can be assured that their local knowledge in operations, touring, guides and transport means our tours operate efficiently and smoothly. They also ensure that Wendy Wu Tours has a reliable presence on which you can always depend. Our local partners have an experienced team dedicated to the provision of personal service to all

Wendy Wu Tours customers throughout their network of offices.

OUR NATIONAL ESCORTS & LOCAL GUIDES One of the very special features of a Wendy Wu Tours fully inclusive group tour is the constant presence of our local National Escorts. Upon arrival in Mongolia your National Escort will be there to welcome you. The National Escort will accompany your group throughout the duration of your stay in their country, catering for all of your personal needs. Meeting strict qualification standards, they are among the finest professionals in tourism and make your Wendy Wu Tours experience all the more memorable. Local Guides, who have specialised knowledge of their own areas, will be with you in Japan and also if you are travelling independently. It is in this way that Wendy Wu Tours’ representatives are on hand at all times to ensure a smooth and enjoyable tour.

TOUR CONTENT Order of events and sightseeing may vary according to local conditions.

ACCOMMODATION RATINGS Star ratings identify the standard of quality of accommodation. Differences may exist between the standard of some overseas hotels and those in Australia. For example a 4-star hotel in these regions cannot be compared to a 4-star Australian hotel. Wendy Wu Tours has set high standards for the hotels used on our tours. All hotels are regularly inspected by Wendy Wu Tours staff and operators to maintain acceptable standards of safety, cleanliness and security.

TRANSPORTATION We have specially planned the modes of travel included in our tours with variety, comfort and enjoyment in mind. Coach travel, cruises, trains and flights are included to make your holiday

more enjoyable, enabling you to enrich your ‘authentic’ experience. All coach travel is in comfortable, air conditioned vehicles. Generally there are no toilets on board. Domestic flights within any itinerary are with reliable local carriers.

Introduction to Fully Inclusive Group Tours Wendy Wu Tours prides itself on ‘no hidden extras’ and therefore our Discover Japan (pages 12-13) and Mongolia & the Naadam Festival (pages 28-29) fully inclusive group tours are inclusive of international economy airfares, transportation, accommodation, meals, a National Escort or Local Guides, taxes and charges, entrance fees and visa fees for Australian passport holders (Mongolia only). Please refer to the ‘Inclusions’ as outlined on the individual tour pages for more details. Travelling on a group tour is the best way to ensure you don’t miss out on any highlights of the country you are visiting. Travelling with Wendy Wu Tours promises much more than that. Our group tours are fully inclusive, so once you book with us you don’t need to worry about a thing. Our comprehensive itineraries cover not only the highlights, but the hidden gems. We organise international flights and visas for Australian passport holders (Mongolia only) prior to departure. All transportation and touring listed in your itinerary is included, offering great value for money. Our National Escorts and Local Guides are experts on their countries, are passionate about their jobs and eager to teach you all they know. All meals are included from the group’s arrival to the group’s departure and have been selected so you get the opportunity to taste the array of local flavours. You can also relax knowing that we have chosen comfortable accommodation in convenient locations. We even take care of tipping. We specify an amount for you to give

to your National Escort on the first day of your tour, which is later distributed on your behalf to all the necessary people (guides and drivers). We have graded our tours as either ‘Comfortably Paced’, or ‘Active Paced’ to help you decide which tour is the right one for you. We also offer independent packages and extensions which can be added to the beginning or end of your group tour, enabling you to make the most of your holiday.

bEfORE yOuR fuLLy INcLuSIVE gROuP TOuR We will supply you with a Tour Dossier and Fact Sheet that will include helpful information on currency, transportation, meals, recommended reading and basically everything else you need to know. A detailed day-by-day itinerary arrives with your documents approximately two to three weeks prior to your group tour departure date.

TOuR gRADINg All tours are graded to assist you in deciding which itinerary best suits your personal liking and ability. The gradings are outlined below with symbols which are also reflected on each tour page:

cOmfORTAbLy PAcED TOuR – DIScOVER JAPAN While you will encounter extensive sightseeing on foot and climbing of stairs and in/out of boats throughout the tour, these programmes are comfortably operated to appeal to most people. Generally these tours are shorter in duration and visit the mainstream tourist attractions.

AcTIVE PAcED TOuR – mONgOLIA & ThE NAADAm fESTIVAL Refers to programmes where long periods of sightseeing on foot, climbing of stairs and physical involvement is necessary. These tours are generally longer in duration and could involve long days of driving. Some programmes may also include easy hiking or a homestay. These tours may travel to remote areas and areas of high altitude, up to 5,000m. Accommodation on these tours may be in basic hotels or camps. These programmes require a good level of ﬁtness and mobility.

TOuR DOSSIERS

conjunction with their Booking Form. We recommend all customers visit their doctor for these aforementioned purposes, and/or to confirm that they are physically able to undertake the day-to-day requirements of the tour. Please refer to the Tour Dossier for more information.

AgE REQuIREmENTS For smooth operations on the ground we do not accept children under the age of 12 years on any of our fully inclusive group tours. We recommend that families with children of any age take advantage of our independent packages, as this will give you more flexibility while you are travelling.

gROuP SIZES All fully inclusive group tour departures are guaranteed at the listed price operating with a National Escort in Mongolia (based on a minimum of 10 participants) and Local Guides in Japan.

SINgLE TRAVELLERS Many single travellers prefer to have a private room during their group tour and a Single Hotel Room Option is charged in those circumstances. At Wendy Wu Tours we understand that some single travellers would happily share a room to avoid paying an additional supplement if they had a partner to share with. If you are a single traveller who is willing to share, Wendy Wu Tours will match you up with another single traveller of the same gender on your tour and neither of you will pay the Single Hotel Room Option. However, if we are unable to find another single traveller who is willing to share, Wendy Wu Tours will waive the Single Hotel Room Option.

JOININg yOuR TOuR – fLIghT SchEDuLES We choose to fly with Cathay Pacific Airways to Japan and Mongolia. Connecting flights are with code-share partners such as Dragonair and Mongolian Airlines. All international flights are based on economy class. Limited flight schedules out of Darwin mean that, Darwin travellers will need to make their own way to another capital city to join the tour. Due to constantly changing airline schedules some travellers may require pre or post-tour accommodation, an overnight stopover or have a lengthy transit en route to your

destination. Any cost for accommodation, transportation or meals incurred will be at your own expense. Travellers who require an overnight stopover in Hong Kong, please refer to our Hong Kong and Macau touring on pages 32-37. Normally, frequent flyer miles are not accrued on our packaged group fares, however this is at the discretion of each airline. Although Wendy Wu Tours makes every effort to use the airlines noted on each tour page, an alternative airline may be used due to flight schedule changes or lack of availability.

mEALS All meals (excluding drinks) are included in our fully inclusive group tours from the day of group’s arrival until the day of group’s departure, except where otherwise stated. Breakfast is a combination of local and Western food, usually buffet-style. Lunches and dinners consist of traditional cuisine served as a banquet, with a wide range of specialties to choose from. Western-style meals are rarely provided. Meals are designed so that you can experience the local dishes, their individual flavours as well as the different ways they are prepared throughout the country.

TIPPINg Tipping is a firm and expected element in the tourism industry, apart from Japan where tipping is not part of the culture. A nominated tipping amount is included in all fully inclusive group tour pricing for Mongolia, however it is not collected in your final payment received by Wendy Wu Tours. This is so that it can be paid directly to your National Escort who will then distribute the tips among your main service providers – guides and drivers – on your behalf. Any other tipping, such as tips for bathroom attendants or hotel porters is at your discretion based on satisfaction of services received, as are gratuities for additional requested special services.

yOuR NEXT TOuR wITh uS Once you have completed your fully inclusive group tour, we hope that you will return to travel with us again. As a repeat customer of Wendy Wu Tours, you will receive a special past passenger discount on your next group tour and early notification of new itineraries and destinations. Past passenger discounts do not apply to independent arrangements.

Tour Dossiers are available from our Reservations Department or on our website. These provide day-to-day descriptions of the physical activities and other important information about the itinerary. We recommend you read the relevant Tour Dossier and Active Paced Checklist (if applicable) thoroughly before booking.

Japan INTRODUCTION TO JAPAN

CLIMATE

OSAKA

Japan is a fascinating country situated in northeast Asia between the north Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan. It is comprised of more than 4,000 islands, the main four being Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku. The Japanese name for Japan is ‘Nippon’ or ‘Nihon’ meaning ‘sun origin’ and is often translated into ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. With a population of approximately 127 million, Japan is the 10th most populated country in the world. It is a land of contrasts; engaging a combination of futuristic cities, ancient culture and diverse scenery. Japan is famous for its relatively short Cherry Blossom season. Flowers can bloom as early as January on the south island of Okinawa, or as late as May on the north island of Hokkaido. In major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, the Cherry Blossom season is generally from early April to mid-May, which makes this a popular time to travel.

Japan’s climate varies widely between regions, from mild to extreme, due to the length of the archipelago and mountains. Japan has four distinct seasons. Summer (June to August) is normally warm and humid with the rainy season lasting from mid-May to June. The typhoon season is generally from August to October. Autumn (September to November) brings cooler temperatures after summer. Winter (December to February) is cold and dry. The cold air coming in from Siberia causes snowfall on the western side of the country that borders the Sea of Japan. Spring (March to May) is generally mild in temperature. Autumn and spring are the best times to travel. Due to the unpredictable climate changes around the world we strongly recommend you check the current weather at your destination prior to your departure in order to pack accordingly.

The modern day city of Osaka, meaning ‘large hill’ or ‘large slope’, is Japan’s third largest city. Established as a major industrial and cultural centre in 1889, it is also home to one of Japan’s most famous castles, Osaka Castle, which was originally built in 1593.

TIME

Passports must be valid for six months beyond the length of stay. Visas are not required for Australian passport holders for entry into Japan for stays of up to 90 days.

Japan is 1 hour behind Australian EST.

LANGUAGE The official national language is Japanese, however, English is widely spoken.

CURRENCY The local currency is known as the Japanese Yen (JPY). 1AUD = 87JPY (approximately)

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Cities TOKYO Located on the main island of Honshu, Tokyo, meaning ‘Eastern Capital’, was originally a small fishing village called Edo. This city has survived a turbulent past including the wrath of war and devastation of earthquakes, but has risen and prospered and is today one of the world’s major metropolises.

KYOTO Once the imperial capital of Japan, Kyoto is another city with a diversified past. The city is home to over 2,000 places of worship, comprising of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines.

It is also home to Japan’s largest rock garden and the Garan Temple Complex. Koya-San is one of the best places to experience an overnight stay in a Buddhist temple lodge, known as a ‘shukubo’ and get a sense of a monk’s lifestyle. The city is also home to Okunoin which is Japan’s largest cemetery, where you can find the mausoleum of the founder of Shingon Buddhism, Kobo Daishi.

Takayama Takayama is nestled high in the mountainous Hida alpine region of Japan. It has retained a traditional atmosphere unlike many other Japanese cities, especially in the beautifully preserved old town. It is the perfect location to soak in hot spring baths (onsen), after a long day of sightseeing.

Accommodation TOKYO The 3-star Shiba Park Hotel is located within walking distance to restaurants and Tokyo Tower. Hotel facilities include a Michelin star restaurant, gift shop and business centre.

TAKAYAMA The Takayama Green Hotel offers spectacular views of the Hida Takayama Northern Alps Mountains. The hotel features a number of restaurants, a bar and lounge area, currency exchange and hot spring onsen baths.

The hotels contains several restaurants and bars, a sushi bar and coffee lounge. Rooms are equipped with modern amenities including air conditioning, tea/coffee making facilities and minibar.

KOYA-SAN There are 117 temples in Koya-San, many of which are ‘shukubos’ (temple lodgings), offering guests the chance to experience the simple and traditional lifestyle of a Buddhist monk. The Fudo-in Temple is a quiet shukubo located close to Okunoin Cemetery. The Imperial family visits this shukubo when they come to Koya-San to visit the tomb of the Empress of Toba (1101-1145) which is located in the temple’s garden. Amenities include shared bathroom facilities with an onsen, futon-style bedding. Only shojin ryori (vegetarian cuisine) is served during meals at the Fudo-in Temple.

South Korea INTRODUCTION TO SOUTH KOREA

CLIMATE

Busan

South Korea is a country determined to leave its previous troubles behind. This region has distinct features; the traditional and historical, as well as the sleek and cosmopolitan. Despite the everwidening gap between the two cultures, the latter has not completely replaced the former. These days most towns consist of a new fashionable area with coffee shops, nightclubs, karaoke bars and stores selling a variety of goods – everything from designer-label clothing to freshly baked French bread. In these same towns you will also find the Korea of old; alleyways and street markets in an intriguing maze where vendors sell everything from fruits and vegetables to seafood, just as they have done for hundreds of years. South Korea has much to offer the avid traveller and many believe it to be the unspoiled gem of Asia. It possesses untouched natural landscapes, a vibrant history with traditional culture and local people who are friendly and welcoming.

Korea has four distinct seasons being spring, summer, autumn and winter. Spring falls between late March to May, and autumn falls between late September to November; these two seasons are the most comfortable times to travel. The winter months of December to early March can plummet to below freezing, whereas the summer months of June to early September are very hot and humid. The rainy season in Korea occurs from late June to early July and is known as the ‘changma’ season. Due to the unpredictable climate changes around the world we strongly recommend you check the current weather at your destination prior to your departure in order to pack accordingly.

Located on the southeast peninsula of South Korea, Busan is the second largest city after Seoul. A dynamic port city offering a relaxed and laid back atmosphere, it boasts superb beaches, scenic cliffs and mountains which provide excellent hiking opportunities. Hot springs are scattered throughout the city.

TIME South Korea is 2 hours behind Australian EST.

LANGUAGE The official national language is Korean.

CURRENCY The local currency is known as the Korean Won (KRW), where W1 is divided into 100 Chon. 1AUD = 1,020KRW (approximately)

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Passports must be valid for six months beyond the length of stay. Visas are not required for Australian passport holders entering Korea for stays of up to 90 days.

Cities SEOUL Seoul is the capital of South Korea and home to 11 million of the nation’s 46 million people. As well as being one of the oldest cities, Seoul is also the country’s financial, political, commercial and cultural centre. The old and new mix in this dynamic city, offering the visitor plenty of sightseeing opportunities such as the famed Gyeongbok Palace, Seoul Tower and Insadong Antique Alley.

JEJU ISLAND (JEJU-SI) Jeju Island is Korea’s largest sub-tropical island located off the south coast. It boasts a treasure chest of tourist attractions including many spectacular geographical features such as the Hallasan Volcano, beaches, impressive waterfalls and fauna. Its culture, traditions and dialect are also remarkably different to those of the mainland.

GYEONGJU The most important period in Korean history was during the time of the Silla Dynasty that reigned from the 1st Century BC right up until the 10th Century AD. The capital of this powerful kingdom was at Gyeongju in the southeast of the peninsula and the town is now almost an open air museum housing a seemingly endless array of tombs, temples, shrines, castles and gardens.

Getting around Seoul Below is some information on transport to assist you in getting to and from Seoul Incheon International Airport.

Limousine bus transfers There are two types of buses that run from Incheon Airport to Seoul; the City Limousine Buses (operate between 05002230hrs) and the Kal Limousine Buses (operate between 0530-2130hrs); both of which take passengers to a selection of the major city hotels in Seoul. Buses usually run every 15 minutes and take approximately 90 minutes to reach the city centre. Limousine bus tickets cannot be pre-booked, however, tickets can be purchased from ticket booths on the first floor at Incheon Airport.

Private car transfers This service is convenient as it offers travellers a hassle-free arrival and a ‘meet and greet’ service.

Prices are from approximately AU$100 per person one way (based on a minimum of two passengers travelling together).

Mongolia INTRODUCTION TO MONGOLIA

LANGUAGE

Bordered by Siberia to the north and China to the south, Mongolia is the second largest landlocked country in the world, with a varying geography from the Gobi Desert in the south and mountain regions to the north and west. With a landscape that is quite breathtaking, it offers pristine lakes, rugged mountains and incredible wide open spaces. Khongoryn Els which translates to ‘singing sands’, is the home to Mongolia’s largest sand dunes, Lake Khovsgol is the largest and deepest lake in Mongolia. Surrounded by mountains and lush forests, it is home to a variety of animals and species of birds. With a turbulent history, Mongolia was first declared a Mongol Empire in 1206 by Genghis Khan. One of the most wonderful events that takes place in Mongolia is the fascinating Naadam Festival, with people arriving from all over the country to participate. This spectacular occasion is a photographer’s paradise, with an array of activities, food and crafts on offer. Mongolia conjures up images of the legends of Genghis Khan, horses galloping through the expansive open plains and camels crossing the Gobi Desert. The warm-hearted locals will inspire you as they go about their lives with gentle peace and humility, but most of all they will reward you with the experience of a lifetime.

The official national language is Mongolian. Kalmyk, Kazakh, Buriat and Mandarin are also widely spoken.

TIME Mongolia is 2 hours behind Australian EST.

CURRENCY The local currency is known as the Tughrik (MNT). 1AUD = 1,430MNT (approximately)

CLIMATE Mongolia’s climate can be described as ‘extreme continental’, with warm summers and long sub-arctic winters. The summer season begins at the end of May and lasts until early October, with an average temperature of 16°C. The most popular time to travel is mid-July, which is also when the world famous Naadam Festival is held in Ulaanbaatar. Winters are long and cold with temperatures often falling well below -18°C, however, the daytime temperatures are warmer. Due to the unpredictable climate changes around the world we strongly recommend you check the current weather at your destination prior to your departure in order to pack accordingly.

One of the special features you will encounter on this tour is experiencing first-hand the annual Naadam Festival, a local celebration of the Mongolian people and culture.

Macau Introduction to Macau

COLOANE

Macau is located 60km southwest of Hong Kong and consists of the Macau Peninsula and the islands of Taipa and Coloane, which are connected to Macau by two bridges. The name Macau was derived from the local name, A Ma Gao, ‘place of A Ma’, in honour of the Goddess of Seafarers. According to local legend, A Ma was a young girl from Fujian Province who saved a fishing boat from sinking by calming the stormy seas. With baroque-style churches, traditional Chinese buildings, gardens and picturesque landscapes, there is much more to Macau than its well-known glitzy casinos. Immerse yourself in the fusion of Portuguese, Chinese and Macanese cultures that make Macau a truly unique destination. Discover the rich cultural heritage along the cobblestone lanes of its historic centre, sample culinary delights with influences from Southeast Asia and Europe, experience world-class entertainment or simply relax and indulge at one of Macau’s luxurious hotels.

Macau's countryside, Coloane, was once a small fishing village frequented by pirates. A stroll through the narrow streets of Coloane Village will reveal old-world charms, including St. Francis Xavier Chapel, and an authentic atmosphere of traditional Macau. It is here you will find Lord Stow's Bakery, serving up delicious Portuguese egg tarts.

MACAU PENINSULA The Macau Peninsula is home to Macau's most iconic attractions such as the UNESCO World Heritage listed Europeanstyle buildings in the Historic Centre of Macau, Senado Square with its patterned cobblestone pavement, the A-Ma Temple, Guia Fortress and Lighthouse and Macau's most familiar landmark, the Ruin's of St. Paul's Church.

TAIPA Taipa Island provides a mix of Chinese charm, Portuguese architecture and towering casinos. Taipa Village has a number of shop-houses typical of Southern China and the 100m-long Rua da Cunha (‘Food Street’) is lined with a number of gourmet restaurants serving Chinese, Portuguese and Macanese cuisine. The famous Taipa House Museum, which consists of five original green mansions with verandas, gives a glimpse into the lives of early 19thcentury well-to-do Macanese families. The Cotai Strip runs parallel to Taipa Village and offers top class entertainment, dining and retail options as well as a number of luxury hotels and resorts.

Getting to and around Macau Macau is easily accessible by jetfoil from Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal in Hong Kong or from China Ferry Terminal in Kowloon. All visitors to Macau must hold a valid passport. Australian passport holders do not require a visa for Macau. Upon arrival in Macau you will find that many of the hotels have shuttle buses waiting at the Macau Ferry Terminal which run between the hotel, ferry terminal and the Cotai Strip. Macau also has an efficient bus system which connects Macau, Taipa and Coloane.

Accommodation Macau hotel prices are based on a per person, per night rate in a lead-in room in low season and include daily breakfast (seasonality surcharges may apply). A booking fee applies for accommodation of three nights or less. Contact our Reservations Department for a more extensive range of hotels. Availability is based on request. Hotel check-in time in Macau is generally 1400hrs and check-out is 1200hrs. Meals in our packages are indicated as follows: (B) = Breakfast, (L) = Lunch and (D) = Dinner.

Any facilities described are subject to change at any time. Maps and photographs are included for general information only and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, location or services.

Wendy Wu Tours cannot in any way be made liable for any cost incurred by the customer on any tour. HEALTH REQUIREMENTS All customers are required to familiarise themselves with any health requirements specific to the countries being visited. All customers are given a Medical Information Form and Tour Dossier with their quote or deposit documents. Customers who are aged 70 years or over, or with a pre-existing condition that affects their fitness to travel, or any medical dietary requirements must complete and return this document with their Booking Form. All customers should visit their doctor for these aforementioned purposes and/or to confirm that they are physically able to undertake the day-to-day requirements of the tour. Should any ailments either exist at the time of booking, or arise before their departure from Australia, the customer must inform Wendy Wu Tours of these by completing a Medical Information Form. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS A passport with a minimum of six months validity is required for customers travelling to all countries in our programme. Visa fees are included for Australian passport holders in our Mongolia & the Naadam Festival fully inclusive group tour. Non-Australian passport holders will incur additional fees. If passports are not received by Wendy Wu Tours 60 days prior to departure, the customer will be required to pay an urgent visa processing fee. Unless otherwise requested your passport will be returned with final documentation approximately two weeks prior to your departure date. If the customer requests the passports to be returned prior to this, an additional fee will be incurred. Responsibility for documentation accuracy, passport validity and dispatch of documents rests with the customer. Wendy Wu Tours accepts no responsibility for any failure in this respect. Wendy Wu Tours does not issue foreign visas. We only submit passports and application forms for visas to be issued by the relevant authorities. Wendy Wu Tours cannot guarantee that any visa will be issued by the relevant authority and accepts no responsibility if a visa application is refused. Any cancellation fees or other expenses incurred by the customer due to the refusal of a visa will be entirely the customer’s liability. CONSULAR ADVICE We recommend that you review information provided by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade prior to making your booking by calling 1300 555 135 or by visiting their website www.dfat.gov.au for the latest information. We strongly recommend that you familiarise yourself with the latest Government Consular advice and information. SINGLE TRAVELLERS Single travellers on fully inclusive group tours may avoid paying the Single Hotel Room Option by opting to travel on a ‘willing to share’ basis. Wendy Wu Tours will endeavour to match a single traveller with another suitable single traveller of the same gender. In the event that we are unable to confirm a share partner, Wendy Wu Tours will confirm a single room at all hotel accommodation and waive the Single Hotel Room Option. For independent itineraries the single supplement indicated is based on pricing for one twin room and one single room. TIPPING Tipping is a firm and expected element in the tourism industry today and Mongolia is no exception. The nominated tip amount is to be given to your National Escort at the beginning of your group tour upon arrival at your destination and they will do all the necessary tipping on your behalf. The amount payable for Mongolia & the Naadam Festival is shown in the tour price and Wendy Wu Tours will advise the exact amount required on your final documentation. Tipping amounts will range from US$100 to US$120 per person based on the tour itinerary and length and are

subject to change at any time. Tipping is not part of the culture in Japan and therefore is not required on the Discover Japan tour. Tipping for all other independent travel is not compulsory and is at the customer's own discretion. SHOPPING Shopping can be fun and entertaining, especially in local markets, where many copies of international brand names can be purchased for next to nothing. However, Wendy Wu Tours, its staff and employees are not qualified nor permitted to ensure or guarantee the quality or value of any goods purchased or the suitability of any retail outlets visited and the security of using a credit card to purchase such goods. In all cases the purchasing of goods and the use of a credit card for those transactions is entirely at the customer's own risk and at all times the customer must use their own discretion. RESPONSIBILITY Wendy Wu Tours (herewith called the Company) acts as a co-ordinator for all persons taking these tours in the making of all arrangements for transportation, sightseeing and hotel accommodation.

We strongly urge all customers to undertake a high level of personal responsibility in order to ensure that possessions, equipment and personal documents are closely monitored and protected at all times. SEATBELTS Please note that seatbelts are not compulsory by law in countries visited by Wendy Wu Tours and therefore the local people largely choose not to wear them. For this reason local operators may or may not have seatbelts in vehicles or they may be hidden underneath protective seat covers. It is recommended that where seatbelts are available customers must use them and remain seated at all times while the vehicle is moving. As such, customers acknowledge that seatbelts may not be available and therefore travel at their own risk. Customers warrant that they shall not make any claim howsoever arising for injury or damage in respect of, arising from or contributed to by the absence of seatbelts and hereby release Wendy Wu Tours from all such claims.
