Have you always wanted to travel to an unusual destination, but you've been afraid to because you didn’t speak the language? Fear no more! The invites you to travel to China from Oct. 13-21 or to Hong Kong and Thailand from Nov. 5-13 as part of a Chamber travel group, complete with English-speaking tour guides.

"The thought of planning a trip to a fascinating location like Asia may seem overwhelming for a number of reasons—you don’t speak the language, you don’t know what you’ll eat, you’re nervous about the accommodations,” Troy Chamber President Michele Hodges said. “By traveling with the Chamber, you can set those fears aside. The only thing you’ll need to worry about is if you have a good camera to take with you.”

For as little as $2,150 per person for China and $2,699 for Hong Kong/Thailand, travelers can enjoy 4- and 5-star hotels, airfare, meals, a variety of attractions and more.

Whether you want to travel as a family, couple, or individual, Chamber trips include memorable sites, both ancient and modern, and the opportunity to enjoy a multitude of unforgettable cultural experiences.

"In October 2011, our group of 58 travelers enjoyed the unforgettable experience of seeing China," Hodges said. "For 2012, we’re offering this trip again, with a possible side excursion to Xi’an to see the Terracotta Warriors. In addition, we’re adding a new trip to Hong Kong/Thailand in November."
