EVERYTHING AROUND YOUR PROGRAMME
A clear plan.
A calmer week.
For executives, trade teams, consultants, media and support staff. Half a day, a full day or a coordinated week.
Interpreters & assistants
Multilingual business interpretings or personal assistants by the half-day or full day, for meetings, networking and dinners. Tell us your sector and terminology.
Your car. Your schedule.
Private cars with drivers, Shenzhen Bao’an pickups and Hong Kong airport–Shenzhen transfer planning. Cross-border routing and document requirements checked first.
A workable hotel base
Hotel search around confirmed venues and daily routes. Leaders’ week may bring road controls and changing access. Book early; availability is never promised.
Land with a head start
Help choosing data/eSIM options and preparing Alipay, WeChat Pay, DiDi and translation apps. Chinese address cheat-sheet included; connectivity and verification depend on providers.
Go beyond the summit
Shenzhen electronics markets, showrooms and innovation districts. Supplier and factory visit logistics in Dongguan, Guangzhou or Foshan, subject to hosts accepting your visit.
Dinner, then a little more
Restaurant reservations for business dinners, Shenzhen half-days, a Guangzhou food day or Hong Kong, Macau and Guilin extensions. Fit the extras around your diary.
DIFFERENT FLIGHTS. THE SAME THOUGHTFUL WELCOME.
Travelling from…

Land. Reset. Get ready.
Leave room for jet lag and a calm first day. We’ll discuss access to your usual work apps, local payments and connectivity options before you fly.
Plan punctual pickups, an itemised quote and your company’s invoice needs. Add Shenzhen’s tech districts or a supply-chain visit if it fits your goals.
02 / PHILIPPINES
A personal plan for your team.
Arriving via Shenzhen or Hong Kong? We’ll connect your route, colleagues’ schedules and meeting locations with clear costs and personal coordination.
Ask about sourcing visits, food and shopping between business commitments. Choose WhatsApp, Viber, email or phone as your preferred way to hear from Cathy.
03 / AUSTRALIA
Straightforward from the start.
Share your trade, education, resources or tech plans. We’ll set out the services, costs and exclusions so you know what you’re booking.
Have a few days to spare? Add good food, Shenzhen’s waterfront, a Hong Kong stop or a slower Guilin escape.
Entry requirements differ by nationality and change often. Check official Chinese embassy or consulate sources for your circumstances. Ask Cathy for our general preparation checklist.
SHENZHEN / BEYOND THE MEETING ROOMTHE CITY BETWEEN YOUR APPOINTMENTS
Meet Shenzhen.
Then meet its other side.
Innovation districts in the morning. A waterfront walk as the city lights come on. A good dinner with the people you’ve come to meet.
We’ll help make room for a Shenzhen half-day, electronics-market visit or relaxed evening — built around your confirmed appointments.
