Technical follow-up session
From first enquiry to departure

Your visit. Seven stages.

What we decide together, what you provide and what each stage delivers.

Stage 01 · Before departure

Understanding your objective

Start with your objective, group size and preferred dates. Cities and format can be worked out together.

Your input

Objective, participants, dates and an indicative budget.

Stage outcome

A shared understanding of the objective and the information needed to prepare a programme.

For industrial visits: We clarify your industry, the companies of interest and the outcomes you want from each meeting.
Can we enquire without a ready-made programme?

Yes. Tell us the outcome you want and what you already know about the group. Undecided cities, dates or budget are clarified while the proposal is prepared.

For approval within your company

A clear programme. A clear scope of work.

Within 3 calendar days of your enquiry we discuss your needs and send an initial programme with a preliminary estimate.

01 · Itinerary

What happens and why

The trip’s purpose, cities, daily programme and travel schedule — with visits and venues that still need confirmation clearly marked.

02 · Estimate

How the budget is built

An agreed scope of services and costs by category: venues, accommodation, transfers, activities and support. Optional extras listed separately.

03 · Organisation

Who is responsible for what

Project coordinator, each party’s responsibilities, approval stages and the change process — agreed before delivery begins.

Pricing depends on dates, cities, group size, accommodation standard, venues and programme content. Flights, visa support and insurance are included only by separate agreement.
Destinations

Cities chosen for the companies you need to meet.

Shanghai is our team’s base. Cities are selected after discussing purpose, timing and group, balancing visits with travel time.

01 / EAST

Shanghai · Suzhou · Hangzhou

Precision manufacturing, automotive, home appliances and industrial components — a dense cluster that fits several visits into one trip.

02 / SOUTH

Shenzhen · Guangzhou

Electronics, hardware and major trade exhibitions — suited to programmes built around a fair and supplier meetings.

03 / NORTH

Beijing and beyond

A single destination or part of a wider itinerary. Other regions are planned on request, around the hosts you need.

Before the first conversation

Questions about industrial visits.

When will we receive a programme and estimate?

Within 3 calendar days of receiving your enquiry, we contact you, discuss your needs and prepare an initial programme with a preliminary estimate. Final pricing and bookings are agreed once venues, factories and the scope of services are confirmed.

Do we need a budget and exact dates already?

No. For a first conversation, your objective, approximate participant count and preferred period are enough. If a budget has not been set, say so in the brief and we will discuss programme parameters and costs together.

Can you guarantee access to a specific factory?

Factory access and the availability of specific people depend on the hosts. We confirm each visit individually, agree priority visits and acceptable alternatives in advance, and propose a revised schedule if a host reschedules.

What determines the price of a trip?

Dates, destinations, participant numbers, hotel standards, venues, interpreting and selected activities. The proposal shows included services, optional extras and costs retained by the client.

What about flights, visas and insurance?

These are discussed separately and recorded in the scope of work. Before booking, we agree on included services, required documents and the responsibilities retained by the client.

Can we combine several cities, or add an exhibition?

Yes. The itinerary is built around the main visits, travel time and the group’s pace — for example factory visits in Suzhou and Hangzhou followed by an industry exhibition in Shanghai.
