2 for 1 specials, early booking bonuses, and prices that are too low to be true...

Chinapac explains the difference between their company and everybody else

When it comes to picking an Asia tour operator, many options are available. But while many tour operators claim to be the best of everything, there are a few things to keep in mind, as not all tour operators are created equally.

Price
It’s easy to get into a pricing war during these tough economic times. In order to recoup their losses, some China tour operators build in shopping stops at overpriced stores that may or may not be listed on the itinerary. The tour operator then receives a shopping commission from the store. Sometimes an employee from the tour operator will even accompany the group on the tour to ensure they receive their shopping commission.
When Chinapac International offers a low price, that’s what it is: a low price. We have a great working relationship with our partners in China and are able to negotiate better prices on our tours so we can pass them on to you. In our 25 years of business, Chinapac has not requested or received a cent of shopping commissions.

Quality
Every China tour operator claims to provide a quality, tour but how do you determine quality? Our Canadian management team visits China many times a year to ensure our preferred hotels and cruise ships remain up to standard. We prefer to use 4-star quality hotels that also reflect Chinese culture. Our groups are also much smaller than most - at Chinapac we consider a party of six a group, and over the past three years, most of our programs have had an average of fewer than 16 people. Our clients tell us they appreciate this approach.  Lastly we are known for our FAM tours. Our FAM tours are not crammed with hotel inspections, presentations, and meet & greets. On our FAM tours, you experience the tours just as your clients would.

Service
From the time you make the first call or send the first e-mail, you will experience Chinapac’s superior service. Our extended business hours are designed to fit your schedule and our agents are available to speak with you seven days a week. Our agents are very knowledgeable of China and experienced in selling China tours to Canadians. We often receive compliments about our sales staff and tour guides. I invite you to visit us online and read some of these comments.
Experience during a crisis.
In our 25 years of business, Chinapac has seen its fair share of challenges in the travel industry, including the Tian An Men Square Protest of 1989, 9/11 attacks, and the 2002 SARS outbreak. While some companies folded, Chinapac was able not only to survive, but to grow through tough times because of strategic planning, innovative thinking and our commitments to price, quality and service. The current economic situation is another opportunity for Chinapac to set itself apart from other operators. When you are planning that $10,000 vacation for a client, you can be confident we will be here when your client is ready to travel.
If you have never booked with Chinapac or haven’t booked with us lately, I personally invite you take a look at our product and services. There has never been a better time to travel to China with us.

Wishing you all the best during the autumn travel season,
