Rick Wong

Rick Wong, also known as Ricky, is a nature lover and eco-conscious traveler who co-founded Wild Great Wall with a vision to promote responsible travel and sustainable tourism in Beijing, China.

Born and raised in the woody mountain town of southwest China's Sichuan province, Rick has a deep appreciation for nature and cultural heritage instilled by his family.

His extensive travels across South East Asia, India, Spain, Egypt, and Western Europe in his early 30s exposed him to the adverse environmental impacts of mass tourism, leading him to advocate for small-group tourism experiences that minimize ecological and cultural footprints.

Through Wild Great Wall, Rick aims to encourage more people to visit Beijing through enjoyable and authentic trips that benefit local communities and minimize negative impacts.

His educational background includes a Master's degree in Plant Protection from Nanjing Agricultural University and courses in Online Marketing and Inbound Marketing from imiker.

Professionally, Rick has experience in Business Development and Online Marketing at wildgreatwall.com and has previously worked as a Tour Operator and Tour Leader at Cosmos and Dragon Air Holiday.

Rick's ethos revolves around sustainability, reducing environmental impact, and making conscious choices for a better world. With a focus on conservation and community benefits, Wild Great Wall epitomizes eco-friendly and responsible tourism.
