Travel Planning for China Factory Tours
Visiting China to tour and inspect factories is important for building relationships with factory partners. However, traveling to China is not always easy. It requires careful planning, and businesses new to China often find it takes more time than expected to create an efficient travel plan.

Why Should You Visit Your Factory in China?
Although visiting the factory in China is not a requirement for our clients, Confia highly recommends it when possible. There are numerous advantages to personally visiting a factory you’ve partnered with, including:
Establishing personal connections: Building rapport with factory stakeholders (such as managers or owners) is essential. Strong relationships increase the likelihood that the factory will give your orders top priority, as your visit demonstrates you are a committed and serious partner.
Addressing quality concerns: Confia will support clients in discussing quality improvement directly with suppliers during an in-person visit, ensuring that product standards are met more effectively.
Negotiating pricing: Confia will assist in on-site price discussions, aiming to secure better rates and improved payment terms by engaging directly with the factory’s key decision-makers.
Lead time discussions: Beyond price negotiations, Confia will help clients negotiate production schedules. Visiting the factory in person can influence their willingness to adjust lead times and prioritize your orders.
