How We Work

From inquiry to a confirmed China journey

The workflow is designed to reduce repeated clicking and hidden assumptions: one brief, one written proposal, a clear payment choice, and booking-specific handoffs.

  • BriefDates and priorities
  • ProposalScope and price
  • HandoffNames and contacts
The planning workflow

Each stage produces a document or decision

Discovery identifies the journey format and missing information. Design turns that into a day-by-day route. Confirmation checks availability, price, and commercial terms. Preparation issues the names, tickets, meeting details, and escalation route needed for travel.

Fewer repeated choices

The workflow should make the next decision obvious.

Why the brief comes first
Fewer repeated choices

Why the brief comes first

Date, party size, season, holiday pricing, and journey format affect several later decisions. Capturing them once lets the proposal, bill summary, and payment choice use the same context instead of asking the traveler to rebuild the trip at every step.

Answers based on the specific booking context.

How long does a proposal take?

Timing depends on route complexity and supplier checks. The planner should state the expected response window after reviewing the brief.

The proposal should state the revision scope for the selected journey line. Material route expansion can change price and timing.

When are suppliers named?

When availability and the working arrangement are confirmed for the booking.
