Choosing your Experience
- Filter by destination (e.g., Shenzhen, Yiwu), theme (Tradeshow Guide, Local Adventure, Relaxation), or duration (half-day, full-day, custom).
- Sort results by user ratings (1-5 stars), price, or popularity (based on recent bookings).
- Each experience page includes a detailed itinerary, inclusions/exclusions, user reviews (with photos), and required equipment tips.
- Use the “Request Custom Experience” tool to share group size, budget, and interests (e.g., family-friendly); a preliminary plan is sent within 24 hours, with 2 free revisions allowed.
Local Guidelines
- A tailored “Local Guidelines” document is attached to your confirmation email and stored in “My Trips.”
- Covers traffic rules (driving side, speed limits), cultural taboos (dress codes, photography restrictions), and required documents (passport validity, visa copies).
- Guidelines are updated monthly; refresh your account 3 days before departure for the latest version (e.g., new visa policies, festival closures).
- Special destinations (border towns/remote areas) include cross-border tips and local embassy contacts.
- Flag questions via the “Ask a Question” box on the guidelines page for a response within 12 hours.
Making a Reservation
- Select an available date (green = available, gray = booked) and enter traveler details (name as on ID, contact, dietary needs).
- Book as a guest (no registration) or log in to save traveler info and track orders in real time.
- Troubleshoot glitches: refresh the page, switch to Chrome/Safari/Firefox, or use 24/7 live chat for support.
- A confirmation page (with order number) appears post-booking; a detailed email is sent within 30 minutes.
Booking Confirmation and Tickets
- A pop-up confirmation (order number + details) appears immediately; a formal email (with PDF e-ticket) follows within 15 minutes.
- Access e-tickets via “My Orders” (download/print, or save to your phone’s wallet).
- Check spam/promotions folders if the email is missing; contact support with your order number to resend (response within 1 hour).
- E-tickets include a scannable QR code (do not edit/alter it); one copy (digital/printed) suffices for groups.
Managing Your Booking(s)
- Modify travel dates: Request 72 hours in advance (subject to availability); pay the difference if the new date is pricier, or get a refund for lower prices (3-7 business days).
- Adjust group size: Add/remove travelers (some small-group experiences restrict additions); partial refunds apply if removing travelers close to the trip date.
- Cancel via “Cancel Booking”: Free cancellation (a week before), 50% refund (3-6 days), no refund (<48 hours); a confirmation email and refund (3-7 days) follow.
- For custom changes (e.g., destination shifts), contact support with your order number (5+ days before travel).
Arriving in Your Destination

- Check local traffic 1 hour before departure; contact the local provider immediately if delayed.
- No-shows (without notice) may miss the experience and are ineligible for refunds.
- Look for staff in Asita-branded clothing or with your order number sign; they’ll verify your e-ticket and share last-minute updates.
