Questions Buyers and Group Leaders Ask About Business Visits in China

Group size, access, interpreting, confidentiality, visas and cost are answered below. The process from first message to departure is on the how it works page.

Common questions

Has PreeChina hosted business groups before?

Yes. A South American business association has travelled to China with PreeChina two years in a row, to supply chains from denim and electronics to mini excavators, rattan and caviar. See the case study.

How large can a business group be?

A group can have up to thirty people. Where a venue takes fewer, the programme follows the smaller number. Groups of two to six are quoted per project.

Which industries can PreeChina arrange visits for?

The industry clusters page lists the regions and specialised towns where PreeChina has started. Other sectors can be asked about through the briefing.

Can PreeChina promise access to a particular factory?

No. PreeChina asks, and the company decides. Which sites can receive a foreign group is confirmed before the programme is priced.

Does PreeChina recommend suppliers?

No. PreeChina does not recommend or assess suppliers and does not promise any purchasing result.

Is an interpreter included?

An English-speaking guide travels with the group as part of the ground service. Technical interpreting is a separate line, quoted for each session.

Is there a written report after the trip?

PreeChina can provide a written summary of what was seen at each site and the points to follow up. The scope is agreed with the programme.

How is confidentiality handled?

A mutual non-disclosure agreement is signed before a target list is shared, and the list goes no further than the planning team. See access and confidentiality.

Can PreeChina help with visas and invitation letters?

The visa page explains the common routes. Visa applications are made by the travellers.

How far ahead should a group ask?

As early as possible. Some sites need weeks of notice and some are open only in certain seasons, so the brief should arrive before flights are bought.

What does PreeChina charge?

A ground service fee per person for groups, and a project quotation for groups of two to six. The fee table is on the For Associations and Agents page.

What is not included in the ground fee?

Hotels, tickets, transport inside China, meals, travel insurance, personal spending and shopping, upgrades to a higher specification, international flights and technical interpreting. The hotel, ticket, transport and meal costs appear as separate lines in the priced itinerary and are paid by the group, directly to the suppliers or through PreeChina, which can coordinate the payment and pay on the group's behalf, with no handling fee.
