Any Bitcoin tourists out there?
After recently acting as tour guides for family members before our wedding, my wife and I have decided to offer via this forum the opportunity for anyone interested in visiting Beijing to be able to pay for their entire trip (apart from air tickets) in Bitcoin (RMB conversion rates to be taken from btcchina).
We are not going to organise trips for large groups (maximum of six people) so we can provide flexible arrangements and avoid the need for hiring large buses.
We are not affiliated with any tourism company and will take people only to places that they are interested to visit (itinerary suggestions will be provided upon request). In particular you will not be taken to any shops unless you have asked to go there (this can be a big problem with budget tours in China).
The initial Bitcoin payment won't be necessary until arrival (we will meet you at the airport) and payment for each tour day can be made at the end of the day. We will provide receipts for all transportation, accommodation, tickets and meals and will charge a modest fee (around 5 BTC per day) for our services.
We have not yet set up a web site for this endeavor as we are just putting this out to test the water and to offer people another way to actually spend their Bitcoins.
For further information either reply here or PM me.
Cheers,
Ian.
