Mission: “Viewing life to the fullest, inside and out”

Vital Vistas’ mission is to promote thorough understanding between Chinese and American cultures, both formal and informal.  We bring you an integrated view from the inside, of life at work and at home, of history, traditions and trades with their impacts on daily life and business today.  Through the insights we build into our unique awareness programs, we foster opportunities for you to identify possibilities for your own continued personal or business relationship development. 
 
Vital Vistas’ ideals are no less than advancing the cross-cultural perspective necessary to benefit all the participants of the new global community and economy. This world future is built through “Guanxi” (pronounced gwan-chee) or connections, which you will be building during your China adventure of discovery.
 
Vital Vistas’ programs go beyond the standards of language training or travel tours, to the heart of genuine appreciation of the people and the ideas you encounter.  You will experience a unique learning adventure, including:
 
ØHome stay with local Chinese families, sharing meals and conversation

ØAttend seminars on local culture, history and industry

ØMeet with local government, commerce, educational and/or community leaders in their own organizational environments.

ØVisit minority villages for a first-hand view of ancient and traditional life. 
 
All of Vital Vistas’ programs are designed and led by highly experienced and well-respected professionals in their respective fields.  Our teachers and guides are all well-trained, responsible, patient and cross-culturally aware.  We specialize in the less-explored Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, plus the Silk Road and the route of Genghis Khan, where you can create your own discoveries of a lifetime.
