I got invited to go on the People to People China trip in summer of '09, how much does it cost? And is it?

Question

worth the cost?

I know it'll probably be around 5k. And I have a part-time job and I wouldn't mind saving up for it if it's worth it.

And if I'm not able to come up with the money, do you think bank/financial services will loan me the money and give me a payment plan to pay them back?

Answer 1

Found these informative posts at ripoffreport about this program.. how no one tells you the cost until the last minute.... but from reading the posts the cost will be between 5,000 to 7,000...

For that amount of money, you could buy a ticket for yourself and a family member and tour China with a tour guide/group yourselves for less....

if you go yourself, the big cost will be your airline ticket (est. <$1,000) and to a degree your hotel ($25 to $100> a day). all other costs will be really cheap.

probably could get a better deal with a vacation package and go with a tour group.

If you really want to go, I'd personally do a packaged tour and pocket the savings for future educational costs.

Answer 2

If you know the cost is around 5k you can save money now.

I think you can get a credit from a Chinese bank.

Answer 3

Which cities you'd like to visit in China? What attractions you'd like to see? What kind of hotels you'd like to choose? How long will your trip be? There are so many factors vary the price!

I am a Japanese living in China, three months earlier, I take a trip to Guilin with my family, I searched many informations at for that trip. Here pick one website which help me most.
