Wendy is invited by the BBC in the UK again to hear her unique insight into the impact of coronavirus on the tourism industry.
Hear how Wendy Wu Tours weathered the initial impact of the outbreak and how we are seeing a surge in bookings following the recent positive vaccine news.
Reports in this morning are that the first coronavirus vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19.
The developers - Pfizer and BioNTech - described it as a "great day for science and humanity". Their vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries and no safety concerns have been raised.
The companies plan to apply for emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month.
The Japanese government is considering opening its borders for foreign tourists in time for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year, according to Economic Revitalisation Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura.
Nishimura said that as the government considers how it should relax strict travel bans on foreign visitors in time for next summer, it will also strengthen its airport quarantine and coronavirus testing measures.
Rumours from sources close to the Japanese government are that such a roadmap may include a trial period which could begin in April 2021.
Encouraging news from India.
The incredible UNESCO world heritage site had been closed down for visitors since 17th March but has now re-opened. Robust new measures are now in place to ensure everyone's safety including limiting daily visitors to just 5,000. You could expect 70,000 a day pre lockdown!
