G Touring, leader in guided touring holidays, has launched brand new China tours for brands Travelsphere and Just You for 2025 after a four-year hiatus.
Travelsphere was one of the first tour operators to be officially recognised by the People’s Republic of China in 1985, launching the first ever China tour for adventurous UK travellers in 1987. Recognised as the largest tour operator to China, the company received a prestigious award from the Vice Premier of China. In 2003 Travelsphere was the first tour operator to cruise through the Yangtze Gorges, chartering its own special ship following opening of the new Three Gorges dam.
China’s tourism market is prospering. Travel to and from China experienced an increase of over 60% compared to 2022. Travelsphere and Just You report buoyant interest in their China and Yangtze Cruise Tours, which are available to book now and take place in May and October 2025.
Adam Kemp, Managing Director at G Touring said: “We are thrilled to be able to offer new 2025 escorted China tours to our Travelsphere and Just You customers who are eager to discover the incredible architectural wonders and delights of China’s ancient culture and heritage blended with cutting edge cities.
