DREAMING OF CHINA ?
As the scale of the COVID-19 pandemic grows, with global travel restrictions, we have suspended all our trips to China. At present all foreigners arriving in China are required to spend two weeks in quarantine in a designated hotel at the traveler’s own cost. Whilst China has the virus largely under control, the eventual lifting of this requirement will depend on the pandemic status in the traveler’s country of origin. And of course, the reintroduction of international flights. We are constantly reviewing this and will provide updates on our Facebook page. If you would like to receive information directly by email please contact us at linsell@absamail.co.za.
To get you dreaming in the meantime, we have added some exciting new adventures in China to our portfolio. Please take a look, we are very happy to customize any of our itineraries to suit your special interests or preferences, timing and budget.
Please get in touch with us soon and start planning for when the world and international travel get back to normal!
