Harbin and Heilongjiang Province China make a perfect destination for a winter holiday

NT Travel no longer offers holidays for sale to the general public. You can still arrange your holiday to China through the BYTS branch China Lazy Vacation based in Beijing ( Block D, Room 309 of China Lazy Vacation, No.3, on Beiwa Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China Tel: 008610-88423966, Fax: 008610-88423966-616, Email: zsjq01@live.cn or to receive a call back from China call Neville in the UK on 07939 624828 or if calling from outside the UK on 00447939 624828). BYTS stands for Beijing Youth Travel Services and is a consortium of travel agencies based in China. Member agencies are required to pay an insurance bond as a form of consumer protection as a condition of entry.

NT Travel currently works as a marketing consultant to China Lazy Vacation/BYTS. We are currently helping China Lazy Vacation to develop a China holiday website for overseas visitors to China. This website will be packed with information about China and what to do there and will allow customers to talior their own holidays choosing from a wide selection of hotels, domestic flights and other forms of transport including chauffeur-driven car hire, and sightseeing tours. Similar to NT Travel's original philosophy, you will be able to be as independent as you like or opt to have a guide with you throughout your entire tour. We are also developing a discount card for travellers to be used in local attractions, shops and restaurants in China. This new website should be live in late 2010. In the meantime China Lazy Vacation would be delighted to book your travel arrangements in China whether you only want to book a hotel or a flight or whether you would like a full tailor-made tour.

China Lazy Vacation already has two agency shops in Beijing and currently mainly sells domestic flights, hotels and chauffeur-driven car hire to Chinese nationals. It also arranges foreign holidays for Chinese nationals. There are ten staff in total working in these two travel agencies.

NT Travel is also promoting China Lazy Vacation's services to the travel trade in Asia and Europe in key visitor source markets for China. If you are a travel agent we would be delighted to hear more about your clients' preferences and tell you about the China ground services provided by China Lazy Vacation. Please contact Neville on 07939 624828 or 00447939 624828 or email him on nevillekendall@yahoo.co.uk for more information.

We have also started to establish links with local suppliers in Indonesia on behalf of China Lazy Vacation which will also be offering holiday services and tours in Indonesia including Bali.

 

 

 

 

If you are looking for a winter holiday with a difference and are looking a a taste of the real China why not visit the International Snow and Ice Festivals in Harbin North East China? We offer packages which can also include some time in Beijing and a visit to the Great Wall and Yabuli Winter Resort. Our two main packages are shown below. Harbin Winter Explorer is geared towards the more independent traveller and Harbin Snow & Ice Wonderland is for those who prefer a fully escorted tour. This tour takes a relaxing pace and even includes cooking demonstrations and the option of free acupuncture and massage therapy. If you would prefer to only visit the Harbin Festivals we can take Yabuli Winter Resort out of your itinerary. And of course we would also be delighted to arrange a tailor-made holiday exclusively for you and your party.
