Following the successful participation in the past two years\, the WTCA is partnering with WTC Shanghai to launch the \;2021 WTCA CIIE program -- an initiative to support WTCs and their business members in expanding their global reach to the China marketplace. \;This year'\;s hybrid approach provides online participation for convenient and cost-effective access by overseas WTCs and their business members\, as well as an in-person booth managed by WTCA staff\, which allows onsite face-to-face interaction with potential buyers. \;
