Imperial Tours Announces Services to Sanya
Experience luxury at China's only tropical resort

SAN FRANCISCO, Ca. (February 11, 2009) – Imperial Tours is now offering services on Hainan Island for the luxury traveler. Sanya is the southern-most city in China and also the favored retreat for luxury clients seeking sun and sand.

China's only seaside tropical resort is at the same latitude as Hawaii and only one hour's flight from Hong Kong. Once known as the "end of the earth", Hainan Island now boasts such resorts as Ritz- Carlton, Mandarin Oriental, and Banyan Tree. There are more than 30 direct flights to Sanya from other cities within China.

"Sanya is China's first beach resort catering to the high end leisure traveler, and opens up an entirely new arena of enjoyment for visitors here," said Guy Rubin, Imperial Tours' Managing Partner. "China already boasts a rich variety of cultural treasures and destinations, every bit as inspiring and breathtaking as the wonders of ancient Egypt and renaissance Italy. Now, from the lofty summits of the Himalayan Mountains in the west to the resplendent luxuriance of its sandy beaches to the south, China offers an increasingly diverse palette of experience for the luxury traveler."

Adds Margot Kong, Director of Sales and Marketing for Imperial Tours, "After a historically and culturally rich tour of mainland China, spending a few days on Sanya is a terrific way to relax and wind down, take in a spa treatment, surf or enjoy the white sand beaches."
