Knowledge sharing session for the Destination Promotion Toolbox for tourism BSOs

CBI, ITC, SIPPO, and IPD teamed up to develop a Destination Promotion Toolbox for Tourism BSOs. The Toolbox is part of the work of the Trade Promotion Collaboration (TPC), an initiative in which the counterparts cooperate to pool their knowhow and create state-of-the-art content for import promotion. The TPC aims to promote the transfer of high-quality knowledge from all network partners to BSOs, on a regular basis and in a standardized way.
