Varadkar the star turn as Chinese investors sign up for Great Wall tour at nearly €1,300 each
Former Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is set to headline an exclusive, high-priced networking event for Chinese investors at the Great Wall of China. The event, organized by a private business club, offers participants policy insights and networking opportunities in exchange for significant fees.
Why it matters
The event raises questions about the intersection of former political leadership, private consulting, and international business influence.
Former taoiseach Leo Varadkar will be the star attraction when Chinese entrepreneurs and investors are invited to join him on an exclusive tour of the Great Wall later this month.
Numbers are limited to 15 and only business founders, board chairmen/women, presidents and principal shareholders or owners need apply to take part in the three-hour event on the morning of July 20th, at a cost of RMB10,000 (€1,286) each.
The price includes private, chauffeured transfers from Beijing, priority cable car boarding and access to the VIP section of the wall, as well as a networking lunch with the former taoiseach the following day. Participants will receive a “Great Wall Guardian” honorary certificate signed by Varadkar, a limited-edition commemorative brick and a custom gift bag.
