The Host also receives destination promotion

Agreed worldwide broadcast opportunities can feature tourism, culture, heritage, Host Cities and attractions. Destination promotion is a Host benefit, distinct from WUFO’s ordinary global sponsorship inventory.

04 / A clear financial model

Each sphere retains its own revenue, bears its assigned costs and records its own result.
