Tiens Global, the Chinese direct selling giant made headlines earlier this month for taking some 6,400 distributors worldwide on what turned out to be a luxurious vacation in France.
Abdulkadir Abdulahi, operations staff member of Tiens Ethiopia Business PLC, a branch of Tiens Global and registered as a local importer and distributor firm, told The Reporter in Ethiopia that the number of Ethiopians who were eligible to attend events in France are about 300. However, 17 of them were unable to make it to France for failing to meet requirements set by the French Embassy. However, according to Abdulkadir, the head office of Tiens in China is arranging compensatory trips to take the remaining distributors to China.
The vacation to France according to Abdulkadir is related to the upcoming 20th anniversary celebration of Tiens
