Inbound Group Series

Scheduled or one-off leisure series for overseas agencies, operated with licensed guides and a single operations desk.

A China series lives or dies on the details between the cities: the transfer that runs late, the rooming list that changes, the guide who does not know the group. Our job is to hold those details.

Who this service is for

  • Outbound agencies launching a first China series
  • Tour operators adding a China programme to an existing region
  • Family, alumni and multi-generational groups travelling together
  • Corporate and incentive groups that need a leisure programme around a business date

What we handle

  • Route design and a day-by-day programme with realistic timings
  • Hotels and rooming lists, including split stays
  • Air and rail tickets through our ticketing department
  • Licensed guides confirmed for the group profile
  • Coaches, drivers and airport or station transfers
  • Entries, reservations and restaurant bookings
  • A named operations contact during the whole series

How a series comes together

We start from your brief, not from a catalogue. The first proposal normally comes back with two route options and the services we can hold for your dates; from there we refine until you can sell it.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Tell us the market, group profile, dates and the standard you sell at. We work from your brief, not from a fixed catalogue.

  2. 02

    Proposal

    Our planning desk builds the route, the day structure and the cost sheet, with the hotels and transport we can actually hold.

  3. 03

    Confirmation

    Guides, tickets, rooms and meals are booked and reconfirmed. You receive a final travel document for the group.

  4. 04

    On the road

    A licensed guide travels with the group and our operations desk stays reachable on the 24-hour line for changes on the day.

  5. 05

    Follow-up

    After the group returns we review the trip with you and log what to improve for the next series.

Where our series go

Beijing, Zhangjiajie and Guilin are the destinations we operate most often. Other cities are quoted per request once we have confirmed guide and supplier availability for the dates.
