2011 Summer Newsletter

Dear friends,

Thank you for taking your time to read the very first issue of Dragon Expedition newsletter. It’s been an incredibly busy time for Dragon Expeditions so far - we’ve launched branches in Singapore, Nepal and Beijing, with more branches preparing to start all over the rest of the world.

We have received very positive and welcoming feedback from all of our fans and we’re delighted at how quickly our fan base has grown. It just goes to prove how interested travellers are in coming to the beautiful and relatively unknown region of western China. We would also like to officially announce the upcoming events and travel ideas for 2011. We hope you find them inspiring.

Why Choose us?

What differentiates us from other competitors is that we are the tour operator ourselves i.e. we don’t sell your tour to an operator for commission. We are western China outdoor specialists. We live here and know this land – the geography, the local amenities and the people, their culture and religion. We have a long-established relationship with the hotels, restaurants, and transportation companies, and can provide guaranteed service at a lower price. This allows us to keep our costs down (and thus passed on to you). Specialized in travel services in and around Sichuan, the prices of our tours are regularly 10%-20% lower than our competitors or overseas travel agents. Moreover, we allow you to customize your trip to help you get the most out of your tour.
