China Business Travel
Your one-stop solution for factory visits, supplier sourcing and trade show support in China.
We help global companies plan and run productive business trips to China — from verifying suppliers and matching factories to designing the itinerary and running it on the ground.
What is China Business Travel?
China Business Travel is a China-based business-visit service that helps global companies run productive business travel in China. With 13+ years of experience since 2013 and on-the-ground visits to 6,200+ factories, we handle supplier verification, China sourcing, factory tours, trade shows, corporate visits and supplier meetings — arranging the full itinerary and on-site support so you arrive with a plan and leave with results.
Real factory knowledge, not just translation
13+ Years of Experience
Founded by a former marketing consultant at Made-in-China.com, with on-the-ground visits to 6,200+ factories across China and direct conversations with owners and CEOs.
Industry-Specific Staff
Our on-site escorts are not simple translators, but experienced business people with real industry knowledge — which changes what you get out of every visit.
Full-Itinerary Customization
Tailor-made routes, factory pre-booking, real supplier verification and one-stop execution — from your first enquiry to the last day on the ground.
Tell us where you are — we take it from there
Whether you already have suppliers in mind or don't know where to begin, we build the right trip around your situation.
Verify & arrange visits for your existing suppliers
We phone-verify every company on your list, one by one, to confirm it is a real factory — not a trading company posing as one — check its authenticity and match to your needs, then pre-book visits with factory leaders. In China many companies are traders and you often can't tell; even visiting won't always reveal it. That's exactly what we check for you.
Verify My SuppliersMatch qualified factories to your business needs
Based on your product details, purchase volume, quality requirements and target cost, we screen and recommend the best-fit factory — not necessarily the biggest, but one with genuinely stable quality, complete certifications and the right price, judged strictly against your criteria.

When China Business Travel is right for you
You need us when…
Any one of these is a good reason to talk to us before you travel.
- You're coming to China to visit factories, meet suppliers, hold meetings or attend a trade show and need it all arranged and pre-booked.
- You have a supplier list but aren't sure which are real factories and which are trading companies.
- You don't know which factories to visit and need matching by product, volume, quality and budget.
- You can't read Chinese and want someone who can judge a factory's authenticity on-site.
- You've emailed factories yourself and can't get visits confirmed.
When we're probably not your fit
We'd rather tell you upfront than take the wrong project.
- You want a sightseeing or leisure holiday — this is business-focused travel.
- You want a one-off proxy purchase with no factory visit or ongoing cooperation — we only handle sourcing and negotiation for clients we work with closely.
- You want to cram five or more factories into a single day — we deliberately keep it to about two deep, meaningful visits.
- You just want the cheapest possible agent — we charge a transparent service fee for real verification and industry-level escorts.

A few beliefs that cost overseas buyers time and money — and what actually happens on the ground.
"If I email the factory directly, I can arrange the visit myself."
Factories rarely respond to cold foreign emails. Many of our team come from inside these industries, with our own channels and an industry database — so we confirm visits and judge factories far more reliably than email ever will.
"The company I found online is a factory."
Many suppliers in China are trading companies posing as factories — and even an in-person visit won't always reveal it. We phone-verify each one before you commit.
"More factories per day means a more efficient trip."
We usually visit two factories a day (one for complex cases). Pre-screening plus deep, focused visits beats rushing through five shallow ones.
"The sample equals the bulk product."
A common tactic is samples that differ from mass production, or a trader quietly switching to a cheaper factory for margin. Industry escorts help you catch it in the room — and steer you away from small factories that are inconsistent in quality and offer no after-sales.
Honest about the details
Where we set expectations early, so your trip goes smoothly.
Factory visits need lead time
Appointments are arranged and confirmed in advance. The earlier you share your plan, the better the schedule and the deeper each visit can be.
Canton Fair & peak seasons book up
During the Canton Fair and major show periods, hotel prices rise sharply — we recommend booking around three months ahead.
The decision stays yours
We verify, advise and help you judge a factory's authenticity and fit — but the final commercial decision and contract are always yours.
Depth over volume
We cap visits at about two factories a day for quality. A packed "see everything" schedule isn't what we do — and isn't what gets results.
The moments we're built for
It's your first serious sourcing trip to China and you have no local eyes on the ground.
A supplier problem has appeared mid-order and you need someone at the factory within 24 hours — by video or in person — to resolve it.
You're combining a trade show like the Canton Fair with follow-up factory visits in the same trip.
You want an industry-experienced escort who can read both the room and the Chinese — not a generic translator.
