Tourism fair “Sancharaka Udawa” in May
View(s):The seventh edition of tourism fair, ‘Sancharaka Udawa’ will be held at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre at the BMICH on May 5-6.
This exhibition was first organised on a small scale seven years ago, by the Sri Lanka Association of Inbound Tour Operators (SLAITO), with the intention of providing a platform to showcase products and services offered by the smaller stakeholders in the tourism industry. Though it has grown significantly over the years the focus still remains the same, and is still the only platform available to the small and medium service providers, from all regions, to exhibit and meet their buyers under one roof, the organisers said in a media release.
Last year the fair drew over 160 companies/individuals participating, with over 230 stalls at the exhibition grounds. Exhibitors ranged from boutique hotels to guesthouses to camping operators on the accommodation offerings, as well as adventure and activity service providers such as safari jeep operators, rafting, canoeing and surfing operators from around the island.
