Colombo Chamber facilitates local businesses to attend int’l gem and jewellery shows

The Colombo Chamber of Commerce (CCC), in its pursuit of assisting and providing support to the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of Sri Lanka, has once again facilitated an exciting opportunity for local businesses to gain international exposure through the chamber’s networks. 
This latest initiative targeting those engaged in the trade of gems and jewellery has been collaborated with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) in relation to two mega events – Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show and Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, which are together billed as the largest marketplace of its kind in the world. 
The participants are assured of a robust and well patronised environment which will complement their individual needs in terms of trade and networking. With over 4300 exhibitors expected to participate in this year’s exhibitions (February 27 to March 6), the organisers are confident of drawing a large number of genuine buyers and visitors from over 147 countries and regions.
The HKTDC has therefore mandated the CCC to offer new overseas buyers networked through its member and non-member categories, the opportunity to receive a travel or accommodation sponsorship valued between HKD3500 to HKD4000. This rare offering avails not only the CCC members but also the non-members the opportunity to visit an international exhibition of this global magnitude and reach without too much strain on an SME’s limited budget. 
The previous recipients of these sponsorship packages have commented on the great value they had personally derived from the previous exhibitions, with some having opted for the travel sponsorship whilst those who preferred the accommodation package in particular commenting on the excellent variety of hotel options that had been afforded to them.
