Industry organisations arranging groups of six or more participants may also apply for additional preferential benefits.
The organisers have also launched an international visitor promotion campaign combining online and offline activities focused on major textile manufacturing regions. Overseas roadshows are planned to support buyer recruitment and increase global outreach.
