Highlights: As with all Australian Farmers Tours we’ll get off the tourist track visiting, sheep, beef, dairying and cropping properties. Apart from these valuable on-farm inspections technical visits also cover China’s large experimental farms. The tour has been designed as a business trip, which may qualify as a tax-deductible expense. However, it is not all work and no play as the tour includes leisure and sightseeing to provide a well rounded itinerary of much of China that many travellers never get to see.
Tour Cost: The cost is fully inclusive of all meals and utilises the services of Singapore Airlines.
