Cities have the opportunity to receive the CTW Quality City certification as an efficient and affordable way of highlighting the preparedness of the tourism service providers in the destination for Chinese visitors based on the CTW Training Programme. In order to receive the CTW Quality City certification, cities can through their Destination Marketing Organisations or through other ways, offer CTW Chinese Tourist Welcome Trainings for tourism service providers in the city. The CTW Quality City certification requires that at least one training session is held each year. The first training session must be held before the CTW Quality City certification is granted, and the validity of the certification is always for twelve months after the last CTW training session was held. It can be continuously renewed.
