China is one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. It also has the world’s longest continuously used written language system, and is the world’s most populous nation. Hardly surprising, North America now accounts for 2 million of China’s annual visitors, representing growth of up to 20% in recent years.
“North Americans are flocking to China on holiday now” commented Robert Glazier, Goway’s Product and Marketing Manager, “I attribute this to the unique blend of ancient culture, spectacular scenery and modern cities; of course the focus on China for the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games is also stimulating interest.”
Goway’s China offerings are as varied as the destination itself. For first time visitors, the 16-day China Odyssey tour has the perfect itinerary visiting “China’s Big Five” – Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Shanghai, and the magnificent Yangtze River.
