KRIS VAN GOETHEM

Managing Director Shanghai kris.vangoethem@sportsbreaks.com

I have been in the Travel Industry for over 30 years, and in the last 15 years or so, I have been more and more involved in Sport Events. I was born in Belgium and have been living in China for almost 20 years. Growing up in Belgium, we are used to watching a lot of cycling on TV, it is Sport no. 1, followed closely by football. I support any football team with Belgian players in it, many of them are in the Premier League, but we also have some in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. We love receiving these clubs when they come to China on Summer Tours.

Memorable Live Moment Attending the semi-final of Roland Garros in 2001, Justine Henin against Kim Clysters, unique in history, 2 Belgians playing for a place in a Grand Slam Final !

Bucket List One day, I hope to follow a few mountain stages on the Tour de France, in a VIP car !
