NEW YORK
– December 1, 2015 – A global economic powerhouse with a culture that dates
back 4,000 years, China offers travelers an extraordinary blend of ancient and
modern experiences. From lunch at a local home in one of Beijing’s traditional
Hutong neighborhoods and one-on-one’s with a tai chi master to bike rides
around Xi’an’s old city wall and views of Shanghai’s sleek skyline, members of
the United
States Tour Operators Association (USTOA) immerse travelers in authentic experiences that
highlight today’s combination of old and new customs.
Interested
travelers can find their ideal itinerary by inputting “China” within
the “Find Your Dream Vacation” section of the USTOA homepage. The resulting
options provide details on the length of trip, itineraries, dates, and prices
for a variety of trips to China.
These engaging
experiences – and more – are highlighted in the latest installment in USTOA’s Travel Together campaign which provides
an insider look at the local culture, history and food of three of China’s major
urban centers. Showcasing Shanghai, Beijing and Xi’an, the videos expose
immersive “live like a local” experiences that are accessible through USTOA tour
operator member Wendy Wu Tours and the China
National Tourist Office.
The Travel Together campaign is a
thoughtfully curated collection of videos and blog posts from bucket list
destinations around the globe produced in collaboration with video journalist
Kelley Ferro and AFAR Magazine.
Videos
and blog stories can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/ustoanyc and www.ustoa.com/blog, as well as www.ustoa.com/traveltogether. Consumers can follow the
adventures on Twitter by using #traveltogether, Instagram, and by joining Facebook chats at
