Welcome
This coming year will be without a
doubt a very memorable one as the
eyes of the world will be on China in
August 2008 as Beijing Hosts the
Olympics Games. Also 2008 is an
important year for our company as it
marks the start of our second decade
of helping to send clients to China.
At such time as this it is important to
reflect on our achievements over the
last 10 years but maybe as important
to start to plan for our next 10 years.
The travel industry has gone
through massive changes in the last
10 years from the introduction of
e-tickets to the huge amount of
information that is available to
everybody just by utilising the ‘web
browser’. In our market we have seen
very little direct bookings via
internet/web as China remains a
‘difficult’ country to navigate without
an expert guide BUT over the next
10 years this is set to change.
We will continue to offer our full
guided tour service to our clients as
well as advice and guidance to make
the most of ‘a trip into the Orient’
but there will be a need for us also to
offer more specialist tours and a need
to help clients get below the surface
and to explore China much more
deeply that has been needed so far.
As always our brochure is
designed to give you ideas and to
show you what is possible from a
holiday in China and to explain in
clear English what is included in our
tours and what is extra. We are
constantly adding new experiences
to our brochures but as we look back
over the last 10 years we can see
that our most popular tours remain
those that give our clients good
quality experiences to the major
tourist cities and regions.
At the end of 2008 we will be
getting ready for the final stage of
the Yangtze Dam building programme
and the flooding to full capacity in
the spring of 2009. During the life of
our company we have seen the
transition of the central region of
China that has occurred as a result of
the dam’s construction. During our
second decade we can now look
forward to 2020 when it is predicted
by many that China will become the
second largest economy in the world
and become a modern and fully
developed country with huge
increases in the standard of living for
its 1.3 billion population.
As always I finish by thanking
you for looking at our brochure and
hope that you will chose to book
with us and that you will thoroughly
enjoy exploring my country in the
same way as many of our clients have
done of the last ten years.
