Roadtrips offers Five Star Accommodations on Private Section of the Great Wall
With Beijing expecting an influx of up to a million tourists for the upcoming Summer Games, many travelers are looking to escape the traffic, noise, and infamous pollution of this rapidly growing city while still attending the Games. Surprisingly, there is a 'green' option less than an hour away, perfectly situated to enjoy this year's Games and one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Roadtrips, an international sporting and special event travel company, has space available during the Games at the Kempinski Commune at the Great Wall. Set in the stunning Shuiguan valley, this five star hotel has been called the "New Architectural Wonder of China" by Business Week magazine (December 2005) and named a "Hottest Hotel in the World" by Conde Nast Traveller (May 2007, European Edition).
"The Kempinski Great Wall has a dramatic, modern design in a natural setting with a quiet section of the Great Wall as a backdrop," says Dave Guenther, Roadtrips' President. "It offers a completely different Summer Games experience when compared to crowded metropolitan Beijing. Guests can hike up to seldom experienced sections of the Wall on the hotel's private property in the morning and then attend Summer Games events back in the city during the same day. It's a once in a lifetime experience."
2008 Summer Games travel packages featuring the Kempinski Great Wall are available for six nights starting August 7. All Roadtrips Summer Games packages feature daily breakfast, a Beijing city tour, event transfers, commemorative gifts, on-site hospitality, pre-travel concierge service and tickets to the travelers' choice of any four events. Roadtrips' Kempinski Great Wall travel packages also include 40,000 lbs of TerraPass carbon offset credits.
Rates for the Kempinski Great Wall Travel Package start from $10,980, based on double occupancy. Tickets for additional events, other four and five star hotel options, and trip extensions with private guide services to Xian, Guilun, Shanghai, Chengdu and Hong Kong are also available.'Clean and Green' Luxury Travel Packages for the Beijing Summer Games
