Invitation To The Regional Trade Fair In Bohol

I would like to invite everyone to the Sandugo Regional Product and Raw Material Showcase at the Island City Mall, Tagbilaran City on July 23 to 27.

The exhibition will bring to the island the finest of Central Visayas’ OTOP (One Town, One Product), highlighting unique products and services that make use of indigenous raw materials and local ingenuity.

Participants will come from the tourism, food, fashion accessories, crafts, gifts, toys and house ware, and information and communications technology sectors.

Craft producers in Central Visayas will be presenting prototypes of their work, which are of world-class quality after a series of trainings and one-one–one consultations with expert designers.

The fair will also feature a raw materials gallery to afford buyers and product designers with a plethora of materials to use, and this will be complemented with craft demonstrations for the interested public.

Emerging tourist destinations in the region will likewise be showcased with packaged tours to be made readily available at the booths.

National and international buyers are also expected to be present during the fair, including exporters, buying agents, wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers and subcontractors.

Booths will also be set up at the Island City Mall to display the wealth of natural wonders and the related adventure and fun activities that are available for tourists and visitors who wish to explore the following destinations on the rise.

Several DTI-initiated or assisted programs geared towards making our local products and services globally competitive will be launched during the 2008 Sandugo Regional Product and Raw Material Showcase.
