All industries has its own characteristics and circumstances to consider, but travel & tourism differs distinctively from all others, why we´ve chosen to emphasize this in particular. A number of factors influences the chances of success.
No player dispose the entire product, the guests travel experience, why product coordination is crucial for success.
Incoming tourism is in fact an export of service
Natural resources used for tourism- & travel production is often imposed by laws and rules for access rights
The product is consumed in the very same moment it´s produced. This means a chain of "moments of truth", which puts quality demands on delivery and organizational ability.
The tourism industry contributes to revenue in many other sectors like trading, transportation, fuel, restaurants, food etc
Altogether this means that cooperation between public, private and non-profit organizations most often is crucial for success.
2008 - 2014The CBI, Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries, an agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, aims to assist companies from developing countries in making an entry or enlarging their exports on the EU markets.
For this purpose it has developed a wide range of support programmes. The CBI’s work is financed by the Dutch government which means participation costs are limited.
The CBI was founded in 1971. Its many years of experience and its extensive international network make the CBI one of the most important centres of expertise in export marketing and export management from developing countries.
Especially the market for long-haul tourism revolves around the relationships between inbound and outbound tour operators. Finding the right partners and getting in touch with them is not easy. Furthermore, the European market is complex and fragmented. Determining which geographical market and which market segment to target is not an easy job either. The CBI ECP for Tourism with the assistance of external tourism expert helps to resolve these issues and gives the opportunity to benefit from the growing European market for tourism!
