Cultural Economic Import / Export Legal / Political Tour
Students of Paradise Valley Community conducted a field study of the International Business Environment with an emphasis on China.  The study involved a trip to four major cities in China (Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, and Hong Kong).  The students left Phoenix, Arizona on May 14, 2006 and returned May 29, 2006.

Students were separated into four groups, each focusing on a specific area of international business.  Each of the above links represents the student study areas as well as a brief tour of our adventures.  We hope you enjoy learning more about the international business environment in the Pacific Rim region.
