FAQ
These FAQs are designed to help answer the “most frequently asked questions” before you register for the tour and during the early stages of trip preparation. The FAQs are NOT designed to answer all the questions that you may have about the trip.
Real Asia also provides a detailed “Trip Survival Guide” for the purpose of fully preparing you for your trip. Our Survival Guide addresses additional issues that you may encounter during the trip, such as internet, clothing, safety, etc. The survival guide will be provided once you have registered for any of our tours.
Referral Program
If you have enjoyed our services and would like to refer us to any groups going to Asia, such as MBAs in other schools, you will qualify for a referral fee of $20/person for the first 10 people and $10/person for each subsequent person. For example, introducing a group of 60 people would qualify for $20*10+$10*50=$700 referral fee. We will pay out the referral fee promptly upon the end of the group’s Asia trip. Please contact us for details.
