Asian Tourism Fair ends today

Star Business Report
Four large vivid festoons welcome visitors at the colourful entry decorated with balloons and flowers to the second Asian Tourism Fair at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre.
Inside, well-spaced installations of around 70 stalls also maintain a festive mood, and remain ready to serve travel lovers of the town.
Some students and other visitors were querying about services and packages offered by different tour operators, airlines, hotels, craft shop and other service providers from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, China and Nepal at the show.
The three-day event ends this evening.
Honeymoon Tours and Travels offers packages for Thailand, Malaysia, Nepal, Dubai, Singapore and Switzerland on discounts. Also, the company will not impose any amount as service charge if someone orders for advance bookings for theses packages and for 31st night celebration, Roy said.
Apart from that, some students were busy querying about scholarships and exchange programmes between Bangladesh and other participating countries.

Rahat Mustafijur Rahman, a fresh graduate of Anthropology from University of Dhaka, was collecting information about the master's degree programme under the developing countries partnership scholarship offered by the Indonesian ministry of national education.
The programme offers a three-year master's in humanities, science, agricultural science, social science, psychology, education and engineering at one of the universities in Indonesia for students from Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) countries.
Parjatan Bichitra, a monthly magazine, organised the fair in association with Bangladesh Tourism Board, Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation and the Technical
and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Reform Project of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), Dhaka.
The fair, aiming to showcase promotional packages to attract travellers to exciting tourist destinations of Asia, remains open from 10:00am to 8:00pm with an entry fee of Tk 20 per person.
However, yesterday's turnout was low.
Participants blamed it on the extremely hot weather and timing of the fair.
“It's frustrating, when many of the participants are offering attractive packages to popular destinations and discounts at the fair, and there are few visitors,” said Shoumit Roy, sales executive of HoneymoonTours and Travels.
