CBI's help to penetrate EU market

In June 2009, through a intensive training course and being strictly audited, Tuan Linh Travel was selected by CBI to take part in Export Coaching Programme Tourism 2008-2014 (ECP)

An ECP helps us to:

- At least 51% locally owned, or (co-) owners who reside in another developing country (excluding developing countries characterized as UMIC or higher*);
- 25 to 500 employees;
