This opportunity to see the world, was made available to three lucky winners, selected through EDEX’on-line visitor registration process.  The winners congregated at the EDEX Secretariat, on February 9, to receive their prizes from  EDEX Chairman Mahinda Galagedera, at a special ceremony. Classic Travel partnered EDEX for this special offer. EDEX officials spoke to the winners and discovered that Malaysia was a destination not been visited by all three.
