BUSINESS
MISSION AND TOUR TO CHINA, TRADING INTERNATIONALY 2003
|
Some local folks are visiting China--700 of
them. The group, comprised of Chamber and Rotary members from
Santa Ana, Orange, Costa mesa, Newport Beach, Garden Grove,
Yorba Linda and the Inland Empire, leaves Nov. 8 for a seven-night
tour of Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou. The interest
is understandable: $1,100 a person covers everything-- travel,
hotels, meals, tour tickets airport tax. The trip has been
arranged by Newport Coast businessman Leo Liu, a Chinese native
with a travel company Citslinc International, and connections
in the Chinese government. Liu says this isn't his biggest
group--he twice handled 1,300 tourists--but this will be the
biggest business contingent to visit China. If you wish you
could go, Liu notes, "I have two trips in March". |

Mar. 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, Oct. 31, Nov. 7, 14 and 21. Due to the big
demand to join the Business Mission to China, we open a few departure
dates for the same itinerary in the year 2003.
Our earlier business trip to China in November 2002
consisted of 700 business people with their families and friends.
You will visit memorable sites, both ancient and modern, and enjoy
a multitude of unforgettable experiences. Of professional interest,
you will also learn a great deal about how the Chinese Business
system operates. As you consider whether to travel along with other
business people or just as the regular tourists like yourself, please
do not hesitate to ask questions. We recommend that you do some
"homework" to help with your decision. Read a few travel
guides. Do some research on the Internet. We are convinced that
this will be one of the most unique trips you will have the opportunity
make. Please do not wait too long to decide whether to accompany
us, though, as space is limited.
We feel that this tour is an exceptional value. The
cost is $1,199 (per person, based on double-occupancy), and includes
your round trip airfare, 5-star or 4-star hotel accommodation, deluxe
tour bus, a knowledgeable English-speaking tour guide in each city,
three full meals every day, fees for all attractions and any applicable
taxes. A single room in all will cost an additional $350 and an
upgrade to business class on the round trip flight is $1,200.
A non-refundable registration fee of $100 per person
is required and due at the time you register and no later than January
12. This will be deducted from your total tour fare, the balance
of which will be due before February 12. Securing or updating a
passport is your responsibility, and you may also take care of the
required visa yourself. However, if you wish us to handle the visa
application, you will need to provide us with your passport, a signed
visa application form, two passport photos and $45.00 before January
12. We will return your passport to you in a timely manner. Should
you need assistance completing the visa application, please ask
us.
An invaluable pre-tour briefing for all participants
will be held (date, time and venue to be announced) at which time
we will answer all of your questions and familiarize you with details
you will need to know. We have 26 years of experience in the China
tour business and feel confident that we can respond to your inquiries
to your satisfaction. Whether you have questions on tipping or taxis,
luggage or lunches, customs or rest rooms we will prepare you well
for your adventure.
China is a modern country, so you need not feel as
though you are preparing to travel back in time, to a less sophisticated
society. In many instances, the country is not "behind"
so much as "different." For example, you will find very
few ATM machines, but travelers checks and credit cards are accepted
everywhere. Leave your checkbooks and check cards behind. The electricity
in China is 220 volts and an adapter is required to operate even
an American hair dryer. However, both the adapter and the hair dryer
are available at the hotels in which we will be staying. Though
you will be treated to sumptuous regional foods, you may forgo the
chopsticks and grab a Big Mac or a plate of KFC wings. To the dismay
of some traditionalists, you may also partake of a genuine Starbucks
late. We hope you will join us!
There is still limited space available. This trip
is sponsored by various Chambers, so we only charge a total tour
fare of USD1,299.00 each participant for double-bed occupancy, including
round trip international airs, 5 or 4-star hotels accommodation
with American breakfast, 3-meal per day in China Mainland, governmental
official banquets in all cities, deluxe tour bus, English speaking
tour guide in all cities, admitting tickets to all tourist spots
and airport tax throughout the trip. The requested hotel single
supplement costs USD400.00 for all the hotels we stay throughout
in the itinerary. For a business class cabin upgrade to the round
trip international air Los Angeles/Taipei and Taipei/Los Angeles
only costs USD1,600.00 per person, while for an upgrade to the whole
journey costs 2,100.00 per person.
Mar. 28 - 29: Shenzhen(China's Border "Town"
As the Industrial & Financial Center, Splendid of China, Cultural
Village).
