JENKINTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Friendly Planet Travel, a leading tour operator of exotic destinations worldwide, continues its success of offering the ultimate Facebook sweepstakes for travel buffs with this month’s giveaway—A Taste of China, a free, all-inclusive tour for this month’s winner.

“Including A Taste of China, we have four more tours to give away over the next four months for Friendly Planet Travel fans. I wish all of you the best of luck in the sweepstakes.”

The 10-day A Taste of China tour will take one lucky winner and a guest to China's three most exciting cities: Beijing, the thriving and modern capital of China; Xi'an, where the Terra Cotta Army is found; and Shanghai, the heart of business in China and often called the Paris of the Orient. The sweepstakes includes round-trip airfare, including fuel surcharges and airfare taxes and fees on Air China; all intra-country transportation; deluxe and first-class hotel accommodations; twelve meals; English-speaking tour guides; and more. The winner of the giveaway will be announced at the beginning of April on Facebook.

“China is a spectacular destination, with a wonderful mix of the old and new. This sweepstakes gives travelers a chance to explore a destination that might not have been on their radar before,” says Peggy Goldman, President of Friendly Planet Travel. “Including A Taste of China, we have four more tours to give away over the next four months for Friendly Planet Travel fans. I wish all of you the best of luck in the sweepstakes.”

By becoming a fan and entering the contest on Friendly Planet Travel’s Facebook page, travelers are entered to win one of the exotic getaways being given away in the "Win the World" Facebook Sweepstakes. To receive extra entries, fans can share the sweepstakes with their Facebook friends. For every friend a traveler refers to enter the giveaway, that traveler’s name will be added to the pool again, increasing their chances of winning.
