Greetings from Buddhist International Travel Mart.
It is my pleasure to inform you that we are organizing The Buddhist International Travel
Mart (BITM 2023) on 24-26 March 2023 at Lumbini, Nepal.
BITM is an annual market event aimed at promoting Nepalese Buddhist
pilgrimage tourism. It is organized by the Nepal Association of Tour and Travel
Agents (NATTA) with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil
Aviation, the Nepal Tourism Board, and other travel trade organizations. The
main goal of the Mart is to exlore the potential for Buddhist pilgrimage
tourism in Nepal, with a focus on promoting Buddhist heritage sites such as
Lumbini and the Kathmandu Valley.
The Mart provides a platform for
business-to-business opportunities between foreign travel operators and
Nepalese sellers, offering a chance to exchange and promote Nepalese tourism
products and destinations. It also aims to diversify and decentralize Nepalese
tourism, which is currently focused on adventure tourism.
The Mart will benefit the local
people, tourism entrepreneurs, and related businesses such as hotels,
restaurants, and transport companies. Buyers, sellers, national tourism organizations,
bloggers/vloggers, media, sponsors, and volunteers can all participate in the
event. The event will feature B2B meetings and an inauguration ceremony with
spiritual speeches and address by travel experts.
The expected outcomes of BITM
2023 include an increase in tourist arrivals, a niche tourism product,
diversification of Nepalese tourism, and support for the livelihood of local
people. The Mart will establish Nepal as a premium Buddhist pilgrimage and
spiritual destination.
We hope that this Mart serves as a platform for you
to showcase the country's products and in turn, connect with genuine buyers.
Please note that there will be a first-come-first-serve seating arrangement for
50 buyers and 50 seller agents and organizations.
Please find this circular for your information. We are happy to know your interest for the event.
