Spanish term or phrase: dossier de prensa
This has appeared in the Kudoz glossaries but there are various answers and options. This 'dossier de prensa' contains information regarding a forthcoming convention and mainly aims to promote the area where it will take place as a tourist destination. Press pack? Promo pack? Press kit?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if the following would help?

El dossier de prensa es un documento básico de la campaña de relaciones públicas que contiene información que refuerza y complementa a una nota de prensa, que a diferencia de ésta tiene una importancia documental más que noticiosa, pero que también puede y debe tener valor periodístico en sí mismo.

press kit


Explanation:
I thought this was a fairly standard term! It's very common in conferences and trade shows, where vendors, organizers, exhibitors, etc., all have press kits on hand, to give out to reporters (or to whoever wants one!), with all the details of their product or service. Press kits typically include company profiles, recent press releases, product brochures, product photos, company logos, several versions of brief statements (20 word, 50 word, 100 word, etc), white papers, background information, occasionally financial statements, and always further details on who to contact for additional information.
