If your clients have a little extra cash to burn, it is worth exploring Pacific Delight Tours' Gold Experience Exclusive Collection. This white glove service takes travelers to the same exotic destinations across Asia, but with a VIP touch, from five-star accommodations to Executive Suites on the Yangtze River.
Their 12-day Imperial China & Yangtze River Gold Experience, for example, includes FiveStarPlus accommodations in Beijing, Xi'an, Chongqing and Shanghai. Guests receive preferential hotel placement at brands such as Shangri-La, Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott.
While cruising the Yangtze, Pacific Delight puts guests up with Victoria Cruises, which uses the Executive Suites that have become the standard on all Gold Experience itineraries. Some of the VIP privileges include concierge service, enhanced ship placement, access to exclusive areas, a la carte meal service, private cultural lessons and more.
Highlights of the program include the Great Wall as well as Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven in Beijing as well as the Terra Cotta Warriors of Xi'an.
Rates begin at $3,099 per person, based on double occupancy in 2012.
