Hello James nice to see you as one of the Moderators, i miss the postion on the Business travel forum as moderator![[em4]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_sad.gif)
Back to the question :
Well business trips is a common thing for many people to do, if its your own business or just as your job, many people travel within their country and some visit other countries, like China.
If people come to China on business it can be a hard time, i am sure their time is well planned.
The main thing is that you undersatnd the times, so you have been on a long travel and now in your hotel, make sure you get some rest before you begin your work.
Some people find it hard to sleep in hotels, being away from their homes, and some can find sleeping much more easy if you take your pillow with you, using the hotel pillows can be hard and you dont feel at home, so this can make you feel better.
Make sure you have a mobile phone that can call your home, if you can not use the hotel telephone, its nice to call you family and friends each night, this would make you feel good, and having a phone with you all the time will ease your mind.
Many business people are so busy in the day, meetings or looking at factories, so at night you can be on your own, why not ask your family and friends if they need any gifts from China, this can fill your time when you visit the local shops, and i am sure put a smile on their faces when you get home.![[em19]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_great.gif)
.
Some business can be done at night, maybe having a meal, so many suppliers would want to talk more at a restaurant, and this can be a change to being on your own in the hotel.
There are so many places in China to see, so ask someone for information where you can visit, and maybe someone from the suppliers can help you see the sight in China, dont miss the chance,
Having a tv is great in the hotel, but rememer your in China, make sure the hotel can get things like HBO, and other stations, this is much better for you time in the room.
The hotel could have sports room fitness centre, so its worth while you checking before you book the hotel.
Many hotels will have internet in the hotel room, but make sure, and rememer to take the correct adapter for your electric plug?
Sending email to family and friends while away is another pass time,
You can learn some basic Chinese words before you trip, and this can be your task when you are out shopping, if you can have a small conversation with the sales person.
Anyway plan your business trip well and remember to have fun too![[em1]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_smile.gif)

You want to show other people that business travel can be attractive?
By the fact business people can go to many beautiful countries.
Meet lots of people from different backgrounds and from other cultures.
One time in Hong Kong the next in New York
The thril of the travel, planes, trains, taxes,
Business travel can be attractive only if you take some time to see whats around you, and as for other people thinking if it's the same, business people that travel world wide are thought of as lucky to those people stuck in the office day after day![[em18]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_deal.gif)

I will be visiting China during July 2007 for the 8th time in 15 years as a importer, and personally experienced the tremendous growth of the country. My suggestions to make business travel more lucrative for foreign companies are:
1. Language barrier - make the services of intrepeters and translators more available and let buyers know in advance of such services. Too many "fly by nights" promote these type of services and once appointed you find out it is students trying to improve their English.
2.Chinese Tradition-Dealing with Chinese manufacturers can be difficult if you do not understand the tradition. A cd with tips how to approach Chinese businesses would be a positive and a handy tool. I had to learn the hard way and it costed me a fortune.![[em17]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_shake_hands.gif)
3.Transportation in China's major cities compare with the best in the world-again the drivers do not understand or speak english. A colour code identifying english speaking cab drivers will be a tremendous help.
I hope this will help. China is such a diverse country and every time I visit I learn more.
