The Prince George Chamber of Commerce is planning its first familiarization tour of China in the fall of 2014. This all-inclusive tour will visit several cities, including Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai with opportunities to visit historic sites including the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Ming Tombs, and The Bund.    

This fully escorted trip will offer Prince George and area residents an introduction to the people, history, culture, commerce and daily life of China. There will also be an opportunity for Chamber members to make business contacts in China during the trip. As an exclusive savings to Prince George Chamber members, the cost of the tour will be $2499 (inclusive). Non-members may join the tour for an additional charge of $150 per person. The trip includes airfare from Vancouver as well as in-country transportation and air-fare, hotel accommodations at 4 and 5 star hotels, three full meals per day, professional drivers and English-speaking tour guides. 

“China is becoming a major player in BC’s economy.  With our international airport and physical proximity, trade opportunities with China are sitting on our doorstep,” Chamber Past President, Derek Dougherty, noted, “We feel the time is right to introduce our members to China as the first step in international business development.” 

Anyone interested in learning more about this upcoming tour may join the Chamber for an information and orientation session on May 28, 2014 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm, at the Chamber of Commerce Boardroom on 890 Vancouver Street.
