Over the past three years, CANLink Global has assisted dozens of organizations with their initiatives.  The company’s most recent success was their work with the Moncton Flight College , where a record contract signing to train hundreds of Chinese pilots officially closed earlier this month. 

Mike Tilley , President of CANLink Global, wants to see more companies invest in doing business with China but knows it is difficult to invest without understanding, first-hand the opportunities to do business there.  Recognizing this challenge facing local companies, Tilley decided to create an affordable tour that would allow business people to witness the tremendous economic growth taking place in and begin to think about their own strategy.

“The sheer magnitude of growth happening in right now has to be witnessed, first hand,” said Tilley.  “We wanted to develop an affordable yet comprehensive tour for business people to discover, for themselves, the impact is having on world markets, and to help them start thinking about their ability to do business in .  The itinerary we’ve developed for the China Business Discovery Tour will achieve these objectives.”

The China Business Discovery Tour will take place from October 8^th, until the 17^th, 2006 and is limited to 15 participants.  The cost of the tour is $8,500 and includes all business and cultural activities, flights, and accommodation.
