To help drive bookings of Imperial Tours’ 2011 escorted group journeys, the company has launched a promotion — when four or more people book one of the Majestic, Imperial or Unique Destinations scheduled group departures, guests have the choice of one of the following amenities: $150 per person credit, which can be applied to Diplomatic Channel Access upon international arrival; upgrading to First Class on all for internal China flights or upgrading to suites in all the hotels; or one dinner with champagne for one of the free nights in Beijing or Shanghai (up to $125 per person). The promotion is valid on all new bookings of the Majestic, Imperial and Unique Destinations tours for travel in 2011. Benefits are based on an individual basis and do not need to be the same for the group.

The 2011 tour dates and pricing for Imperial Tours’ scheduled group departures are the 12-night Imperial Tour visiting Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Hangzhou and Shanghai, running June 7 to 19 (guaranteed departure) from $8,585 per person, double, plus $1,065 per person for domestic economy air; the 10-night Majestic Tour, a shorter version of the Imperial Tour, it visits Beijing, Xian, Guilin and Shanghai and runs April 14 to 24, May 12 to 22, and Oct. 13 to 23 (departures are guaranteed), from $7,230 per person, double plus $1,075 per person for domestic economy air; and the 10-night Unique Destinations exploring Southwestern China and Tibet and visits Chengdu, Lijiang, Shangri-la and Lhasa running Sept. 12 to 22 (a six-person minimum is required), from $8,735 per person, double plus $1,105 per person for domestic economy air.
