Qingdao is a picturesque coastal
city, with sweeping white sandy
beaches and a modern
cosmopolitan city centre. During
the 2008 Olympic Games, the city
hosted all of the major “open

which was “colonised” by Germans

lifestyle not dis-similar to middleclass
communities around the
world. Disposable income means
“spending power” and foreign
made (imported goods) are high
on the shopping lists of most the
middle-class in this region.
There is an opportunity to turn the
tables here and look to change our
view of Asia, and particularly China
... we strongly encourage all of our
global team to be looking for and
Now that’s a reception...!!!!
