2015

22 - 30 Aug

Beijing is hosting the major athletics event of next summer an opportunity to visit, or revisit if you were there in 2008 for the Olympics, the famous Birds Nest stadium.

As once again we were the first overseas agent to visit the city we are in prime position to offer track and field fans the optimal arrangements to this fascinating venue. We have already registered for the prime stadium ticket locations having met the local organisers and had our requests reconfirmed.

We are delighted to offer a good selection of hotels to cover all budgets having inspected them in May 2014 and have secured first class contracts in properties that match recognised western standards and that are contemporary in style.

Our Beijing packages are for 11, 10, 7, 5 or 3 nigh ts: extra nights available too .

Optional China group tours and individual add-on pa ckage options are available plus stopover packages en route to or returning back after the event.

Our comprehensive programme is designed to meet all fans’ requirements.

At the last four World Championships in Osaka, Berlin, Daegu and Moscow we have organised the largest single groups of track & field enthusiasts from Britain or any other country attending the championships. We look forward to offering track & field fans the benefit of our experience and our optimum service in Beijing in 2015

Join us and learn first hand… … the art of BEING THERE!
