South Korea x Japan: Wendy Wu’s Ultimate Travel Goals for 2025

Gyeongbokgung Palace 

As 2025 approaches, South Korea is rapidly becoming a must-visit destination for Australian travellers, joining Japan as one of the top hotspots for Wendy Wu Tours.

Simon Bell, Managing Director of Wendy Wu Tours, describes South Korea as a “rising star” in the travel world heading into the busy summer season.

“We’ve seen an impressive year-on-year increase in bookings, and our 2025 tours are filling up faster than ever,” says Mr. Bell. “In fact, South Korea has seen a 45% increase in search volume for tours this year, while Japan, a long-time favorite, continues to captivate visitors with its blend of tradition and modernity.”

Mr. Bell highlights the success of Wendy Wu’s new Essence of South Korea & Japan combined tour, which was introduced last year. The response has far exceeded expectations as demand for South Korea has grown significantly.

“We were confident this multi-destination tour would appeal to those wanting to maximize their time in the region, combining two rich cultural experiences. However, we’ve been amazed by how well it has performed. South Korea is truly on track to be on everyone’s bucket list in 2025.”
