Around 30 participants from Kerala and more than 100 buyers from in and around Paris. Brief and crisp presentation on Kerala Tourism by Dr Venu, two mohiniyattam performances by Corinne, who is now on one of the award winning print (ITB Berlin 2007) and online campaign of Kerala Tourism. Remaining 45 minutes of networking and how many buyers do you think we get to meet?
Those we knew already from the Paris came to say hello, we renewed our friendships and well, don't know how many of the others we met will be on the loop in terms of business.
Even before the show, we had requested the department to send us the database of those who are attending as buyers so that we can send them more details beforehand so that it is easy for the buyers also to meet those sellers that need to meet. Saves every one's time and makes the whole effort far productive. Since every thing is organised in the last minute, I wonder if anything more can be achieved than some pleasantries exchanged.

Still it was good to be at the show.
