The Sri Lanka Association of Inbound Tour Operators (SLAITO) will hold its annual Sancharaka Udawa Tourism Product Trade Fair from May 5 to 6 at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre (BMICH).
This will bring to the forefront many unidentified small and medium service providers by creating a platform to showcase their services as well as build links with the tourism industry, said its brainchild Nilmin Nanayakkara, Managing Director of NKAR Travels (Pvt) Ltd and a former President of SLAITO.
The fair was first held in 2011.
Nilmin Nanayakkara said, “The Sancharaka Udawa Tourism Product Trade Fair will provide a forum for small and relatively unknown suppliers and producers, while creating a cascading effect of revenue generation to all levels of society in Sri Lanka.”
“This event is aligned to SLAITO’s mandate to ‘promote and foster the rapid and long term growth of tourism by providing and maintaining a high standard of excellence’ to foster the long term growth of tourism.” he said.
