Partnership and Sponsorship Programme
Shall we travel together?
Teaming up with major, internationally-known brands, the Catalan Tourist Board has launched a partnership programme aimed at establishing a consortium of strategic partners in order to generate synergies, optimise economic resources and ensure greater impact for promotion, communication and marketing actions focused on the Catalonia tourism brand.
The companies taking part in the programme – which may be, but do not necessarily have to be engaged in the tourism industry – will benefit from their association with a tourist destination of world standing, the leading destination in Spain. Not only that, but the partners’ presence and brand recognition will be boosted on international markets. The Catalan Tourist Board guarantees that all partner companies will be given a prominent presence in all its promotion and marketing channels and supports.
The goal of the partnership programme is, then, to establish stable, lasting strategic alliances with leading companies, both Catalan and other enterprises active in Catalonia. These companies must be innovative in their respective sectors, present on foreign markets and share the values of the Catalonia brand: leadership, professionalism, innovation, dynamism, sustainability and efficiency.
The Catalan Tourist Board also operates a sponsorship programme aimed at establishing tactical relationships with tourism sector interested in taking part in specific, one-off actions organised by the CTB, always with the same goal: to unite our forces.
Finally, in the supporter category, we can establish annual cooperation agreements with business associations of small and medium sized enterprises in the tourism industry. The main characteristic of such agreements is that they are completely adapted to the needs of such associations.
