China Retreat
Executive Trade Tour 2026 · Hosted by Dr. Stephen Akintayo
Canton Fair access, Great Wall immersion, and structured mentorship — fully handled from Lagos and back.
13 – 22 October 2026 · 7 days · 30 seats
Only 10 of 30 early-bird seats left · Shared from $9,000
China is where products are made, margins are won, and partnerships are forged but the Canton Fair, manufacturer introductions, and insider strategy sessions are not open to tourists or solo travellers.
You already know the opportunity. What you lack is the door: curated access, interpreters on the ground, a mentor who has done this across continents, and a peer group operating at your level.
The cost of waiting: another year sourcing through middlemen. Another fair missed. Another competitor in the room while you watch from Lagos.
This is for the kind of founder who invests in access — not information they could Google.
Five tangible outcomes — the kind of returns that make a $9,000 seat pay for itself many times over.
4 guided days at the Canton Fair — real manufacturer introductions, not brochure collecting. Leave with contacts, samples, and sourcing paths for your next product line.
Canton Fair · SourcingFounders, CEOs, and investors in the room with you — curated, not crowded. Relationships forged over campfire networking in Beijing and strategy sessions in Guangzhou.
Network · AccessEvening sessions on company strategy, sourcing frameworks, and the billionaire habits that turn international trips into ROI — not expense reports.
Strategy · MentorshipInterpreters, guided tours, and on-the-ground support mean you negotiate, not navigate. You return with a shortlist of partners and a plan to execute.
Execution · DealsChinese visa, flights from Lagos, 5-star hotels, bullet train, daily transport, and greeters at every arrival. You focus on deals; we handle the rest.

You're not buying a tour. You're buying into a strategist who has built multi-sector ventures across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and North America — and who has hosted 200+ executives on retreats in Dubai, Qatar, Singapore, China, and the UK.
Dr. Akintayo turns bold vision into structured execution: real estate, business systems, international trade, and the mindset shifts that separate operators from observers.

We've Done This Before. At This Level.
"I closed a manufacturing partnership in Guangzhou that paid for the entire trip 4x over. The fair access alone was worth it — the network was the bonus."
Adaeze O. · FMCG Founder, Lagos
"I've been to Dubai and Singapore with Dr. Akintayo. China was different — I left with three supplier quotes and a sourcing strategy I implemented within 30 days."
Tunde K. · Real Estate & Import, Abuja
