FAQ
About GBR
Is Global Business Retreat a travel agency?
No. GBR is an international business development, executive exposure, trade facilitation and strategic connectivity platform. Travel coordination may support a programme, but the central purpose is structured business exposure, learning and connection.
Does GBR guarantee business deals or returns?
No. GBR creates access to experiences, information and relationships. Commercial results depend on many factors, including participant preparation, opportunity quality, negotiation, compliance, execution and independent due diligence.
FAQ
China Mission
Who can participate?
The mission is intended for suitable entrepreneurs, executives, professionals, investors, procurement teams, manufacturers, public-sector leaders and institutional delegates. Final participation may be subject to application review, documentation, payment and travel requirements.
Do I need to be an importer or trader?
No. The programme is relevant to people seeking exposure to manufacturing, technology, products, supply chains, business models, institutional practice and international networks.
Is attendance at the Canton Fair included?
The mission is designed around the relevant Canton Fair phase. Final access depends on confirmed dates, registration requirements and organiser rules. The published mission package will state the exact scope.
Are factory and supplier visits guaranteed?
Only visits confirmed in the final itinerary are included. Hosts, schedules and operating conditions can change, so some activities may be replaced with suitable alternatives.
Will GBR verify suppliers for me?
GBR may facilitate exposure or introductions but does not certify or guarantee suppliers. Participants should complete independent corporate, legal, technical, quality and financial checks before entering any transaction.
FAQ
Travel, Documentation and Payments
Does registration guarantee a visa?
No. Visa decisions are made solely by the relevant authorities. GBR may provide agreed administrative guidance or supporting programme documents but cannot guarantee approval.
What does the fee include?
The official mission page and participant agreement will list all inclusions and exclusions. Review both carefully before payment.
Can the programme change?
Yes. Exhibitions, hosts, venues, transport and external conditions can require changes. GBR will communicate material updates and aim to preserve the programme’s core purpose.
What are the cancellation and refund terms?
The terms depend on the published mission policy and commitments already made to third parties. Participants must review and accept the current terms before payment.
FAQ

Can GBR design a programme for our organisation?
Yes. Programmes can be tailored around an institution’s objectives, audience, sector focus, destination logic, learning outcomes, governance requirements and budget parameters.
Can an institution sponsor participants?
Yes, subject to an agreed programme, participant criteria, responsibilities, safeguarding, procurement and reporting arrangements.
