Affordabel helicopter tours from downtown Shenzhen to Dapeng’s Golden Bay will soon be put into service, announced Kaisa International Resorts Group, a Shenzhen-based investment group, that signed an agreement Wednesday with HELI-EASTERN, a low-altitude flight operator.
According to their strategic cooperation framework agreement, Kaisa Group will explore cooperation with the flight operator helicopter tours, low-altitude traffic operations, aviation club management, emergency rescue and more. The two also agreed to develop the Kaisa Golden Bay Resort into a low-altitude tourism, research and education base.
Shenzhen was the first Chinese city to be allowed to provide helicopter sightseeing services.
