Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The matching grant incentivizes the entire tourism value chain, enabling airlines to work with travel agents and hotel groups to bundle packages. This support helps make charter flights more viable, especially for emerging markets where new routes may take six to twelve months to become commercially viable.
