ETC is delighted to announce that New Vision Group, TripAdvisor, WAYN.com, Webconomy, Wilken and YourTour will be the sponsors of this year's academy. Webconomy and Wilken are both supporting the academy for a fourth consecutive year - demonstration of the importance they attach to working with ETC's member NTOs. All of these companies offer products and services of direct interest and relevance to national tourism organisations, and all have come strongly recommended by MTN members. We are very grateful to them for their support. The academy would not be possible without it. We urge all academy participants to take full advantage of the sponsors' presence in Riga. Join their workshops, make an effort to talk to all of them informally and see what they can offer your NTO. Find out more about each company by reading their profiles below, and by clicking on their logos and visiting their websites.
