China DMC for Your Clients and Group Programmes

First Landing designs, quotes and operates China itineraries for overseas travel companies and group organizers. One Shanghai-based team coordinates hotels, transport, guides, tickets, dining, special access and on-tour support.

Who we support

Travel companies and group organizers

Leisure groups, FIT, private journeys, creator-led departures, business visits, study programs and white-label local delivery.

What you receive

A workable route and defined ground scope

Routing, operating assumptions, hotels, guides, vehicles, rail, experiences, dining and China-side responsibility boundaries.

How it starts

Brief → feasibility → quotation → delivery

We identify route constraints and missing decisions first, then prepare a quotation basis your team can review with the client.

Send a Trade Brief

Before a China group quotation

A clear brief. A named operating partner.

Send six decisions with your brief

  1. Travel month, dates and flexibility
  2. Group size, audience and guide language
  3. Cities, trip length and pace
  4. Hotel level and room mix
  5. Included services and experience priorities
  6. Dietary, mobility and accessibility needs

Review the proposal before committing

Your quotation should make the route, included services, operating assumptions, exclusions and China-side responsibilities explicit. Hotel, transport and experience availability are checked against the actual travel window.

For references or past-programme examples, contact our team with your group type so we can identify relevant material for review.

Give prospective partners the same brief. Ask for a service schedule and clear assumptions, then compare the two proposals before treating the totals as equivalent.

Send Your Group Brief

Match the operating partner to your market

Different clients. Different China delivery.

Tell us who you sell to and what your clients expect. We shape the China-side brief around those needs, rather than treating every group as the same itinerary.

FIT & families

Priorities: hotel location, room mix, private guiding, manageable transfers and flexibility.

Bring to the brief: ages, walking tolerance, guided/free-time balance and dietary needs.

Compare: one realistic day, room assumptions and what changes if the pace slows.

Cultural & special-interest groups

Priorities: relevant guiding, local experiences, meal timing and smooth multi-city handovers.

Bring to the brief: the theme, group size, language and the moments that make the trip distinctive.

Compare: guide requirements, transfer buffers and a clear service schedule.

Business & study delegations

Priorities: learning objectives, company choices, interpreting and a workable business agenda.

Bring to the brief: industry, delegation profile, preferred regions and travel window.

Compare: proposed visit sequence, interpreting scope and transport/hotel integration.

Special dietary, accessibility or language requirements are assessed against the actual programme. Share the requirement early so that the agreed proposal records the arrangement.

Two Program Types, One Local Operating Partner

Build the client relationship in your market. Let us coordinate the China delivery.

We work behind or alongside overseas agency partners. The brief can begin as a published group concept, an FIT request, an incentive idea, a delegation visit or a study program. We translate that brief into realistic routing, local services, operating checks and a proposal your team can discuss with the client.

01 / Leisure Travel Operations

Inbound programs for groups, FIT and private journeys

From classic first-China routes to themed and multi-city programs, we help agencies turn a market-facing idea into a route that can be operated locally.

  • Private and small-group itineraries
  • Series groups and tailor-made departures
  • Hotels, guides, vehicles and rail coordination
  • Food, culture, family and special-interest experiences
  • Arrival support and China-side trip communication

02 / Business & Study Visit Programs

China logistics for delegations, industry visits and learning programs

We can combine travel operations with visit coordination, interpretation and practical delegation support for business, institutional and educational groups.

China Company Visits & Business Study Tours

Choose your companies. We connect the China programme.

Explore 301 company and destination options across 27 regional portfolios, from technology and electric vehicles to retail, logistics and advanced manufacturing. Share your objectives and preferred travel window; we coordinate visit dates and integrate hotels, transport, interpreting, meals and cultural extensions.

Partner Protection

Your client remains your client.

We can work under your agency name or as a disclosed China operating partner. We do not bypass the overseas agency to market directly to clients introduced through that partner.

Scope, communication channels, document branding, payment milestones and on-tour contact roles are agreed before confirmation so both teams know who owns each part of the client experience.

Agree the handover before arrival

Brand: decide what appears on itineraries, arrival signs and guest documents.

Contact: name the agency contact, China-side coordinator and agreed traveller-facing contact.

Changes: agree who approves programme changes or extra costs, and how the China team reports back.

Commercial basis: establish the quoted scope, pricing model and payment/change terms in the written proposal. Do not assume a commission, room policy or service commitment from a general introduction.

Cooperation Workflow

Four steps from partner brief to China delivery.

  1. 01Share the brief

    Market, dates, group profile, program purpose, cities, hotel level and required services.

  2. 02Check feasibility

    We review routing, supplier conditions, visit requirements and information still needed.

  3. 03Build and confirm

    Both teams refine the program, responsibilities, quotation basis and client-facing documents.

  4. 04Operate and report

    Our China-side team coordinates delivery and keeps the agreed agency contact informed.

Corporate Visits, Incentive Travel & Retreats

Add a practical team layer before or after the business program.

First Landing can combine business visits with short regional retreats from Shanghai. The examples below are planning directions, not fixed packages or guaranteed host access.

02

Bamboo and lake program

A short Jiangsu-Zhejiang countryside option using bamboo scenery, lakeside time and low-pressure group activities.

03

Private camp weekend

A customizable camp-based program for internal connection, light facilitation and an informal shared evening.

Travel Trade Inquiry

Share your next China group or private travel brief.

Start with the information you already have. We review feasibility first, then reply with the missing decisions needed before a useful quotation can be prepared.

1

Share the known facts. Unknown dates, hotels or cities can stay undecided.

2

We check feasibility. The first reply focuses on missing decisions and operating constraints.

Add optional operating details

By submitting, you authorize First Landing International Travel to use this information only to assess and respond to the program inquiry.

After a successful submission, keep the reference shown on this page. If no confirmation appears, use the email or WhatsApp contact above rather than submitting repeatedly.

The first reply will identify the next practical questions. It is not an automatic quotation.
