Pacific Delight Tours Offers Special Low-cost Booking Option

Oct. 14, 2008 - PRLog -- New York, NY, 10-2008 – Pacific Delight Tours has announced a special booking offer for travel agents who work with groups of 15 or more – a $150 deposit will block space on two of its most popular itineraries: the 11-day "Golden Route - Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin and Shanghai" and 12-day "Historic Cities and Yangtze River". Land/cruise prices start at $1,918 and $1,998 per person, double occupancy, respectively. Offering agents this low rate allows them to block the space and then promote the tour to clients without incurring large deposit requirements. Pacific Delight will also assist the agents in designing a promotional flyer and offers attractive transpacific airfare, as needed. Offer is valid for new bookings of these two itineraries on 2009 departures through August 3, 2009and subject to availability. Tour prices subject to change. Additional information and Group Request Form is available at http://www.pacificdelighttours.com/assets/files/PDT_Newsletter_100708.html or 800-221-7179.

       Both tours are perennial favorites, ideal for both first-time travelers to China and those returning for a more in-depth exploration of the country's most important and culturally fascinating cities – their history, art, archeology and architecture. Major highlights include: magnificent Yangtze River scenery (on 12-day tour); imperial Beijing's Tian An Men Square and Forbidden City; the Great Wall and Summer Palace; Shanghai's Shanghai Museum and European-style Bund; and Xi’an's famed legions of terra-cotta warriors. Both programs include accommodations in deluxe and superior first-class hotels; breakfast daily, five lunches and two dinners; tour escort; sightseeing, cultural activities and performances; all intra-China transportation; and baggage handling, hotel taxes and service charges.

       The 12-day "Historic Cities & Yangtze River" provides travelers with an affordable way to explore China's Imperial cities – Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing. The land portion of the tour is complemented by four nights sailing the most spectacular portions of the legendary Yangtze River, in outside cabins with private balconies aboard Victoria Cruises' Premier Series five-star fleet. Prices are $1,998 to $2,118 for departures through August 31, 2009. The 11-day "Golden Route - Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin and Shanghai" is similar but substitutes the Yangtze River cruise with a two-night stay in Guilin, a city set among some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. While there, guests visit the magnificent rock formations at Reed Flute Cave and Fu Bo Hill and take a cruise on the Li River, passing lush green landscapes and picturesque villages. The price ranges from $1,918 to $1,988 through 8-31, 2009.

       In an effort to help these agents succeed in selling group travel, Pacific Delight has a nationwide sales staff that answers questions, provides marketing materials and strategies, helps develop custom itineraries, conducts product training sessions, and in some cases, attends sales presentations with the agent. Agents earn competitive commissions for groups discount rates; commissions on larger groups are flexible and negotiable. One free land and air is rewarded beginning with 15 paying passengers on China/Asia itineraries, with some exceptions depending on air carrier and program.
