Redefining Destination Management

Ch in a ove rv i ew

Fast becoming the world’s most popular destination with international travellers, China is truly unmissable.

Unique and exotic, China provides a feast for the senses where guests can sample life both in authentic and unspoilt rural areas and vibrant, ultra-modern cities. The legendary Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Army are highlights among a wealth of cultural and historic treasures; China boasts no fewer than forty-five UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Off the beaten track, China’s landscapes are as beautiful as they are diverse, from the dramatic Himalayas, crowned by Mount Everest, to the virgin beaches of the Hainan province.

Once touched by China’s hospitality, exquisite cuisine, rich history and culture and outstanding natural beauty, all who visit will surely long to return for more.
