The partners will use the Tourism Fairs organised each year inall countries and carry out promotional language events in the target languagesinvolving the target group in thematic language activities with native speakers. As afollow-up, the partners will organise for groups of beneficiaries open language courseswith teachers for each target language.The partners will work in close cooperation with a network of travel agencies which offerservices for school excursions, work and travel for students, business trips, tourism, etc.This will be the main dissemination channel which will distribute the language sets totheir clients who plan to visit one or more of the partner countries both during the lifetimeof the project and after its end. The most innovative aspect of the project is that thelanguage sets will supplement the service portfolio of the travel agencies by including alanguage service in addition to their travel services. This will sustain the impact on thetarget group after the project end and create a favourable environment forcommercialisation of the product.
