The SL-MICE Expo 2025, organised by the Sri Lanka Convention Bureau (SLCB), will take place in Colombo from 22–26 September 2025. This flagship event positions Sri Lanka firmly on the global MICE map, bringing together international and local stakeholders for business growth, networking, and collaboration.

Interest has been overwhelming, with more than 500 applications from 45+ countries, resulting in the selection of 100 foreign agents and 15 media representatives from 30 countries. Locally, over 110 vendors from Sri Lanka’s travel and tourism industry have already registered to showcase their services.

According to Dheera Hettiarachchi, Chairman of SLCB, the Expo is not just an event but a catalyst for partnerships, economic growth, and an opportunity to highlight Sri Lanka’s unique potential as a world-class MICE destination.

The five-day program will feature a business forum, B2B meetings, gala dinner, and familiarization tours to Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, highlighting Sri Lanka’s rich cultural and natural heritage.

Since its inception in 2021, the SL-MICE Expo has become a cornerstone of Sri Lanka’s MICE calendar, growing in global recognition each year.

I landed in Entebbe after a 12-hour flight from London. Entebbe, adjacent to Lake Victoria, benefits from a tropical rainforest climate with steady, pleasant temperatures throughout the year. It was enjoyable to stay and experience both Entebbe and Kampala—the relaxed lakeside charm of Entebbe and the vibrant energy of Kampala offered a nice introduction to Uganda. I stayed at Entebbe Forest Lodge, which provided a peaceful base to explore the local attractions. But like many other adventurous tourists, I was eager to travel southwest to visit Uganda’s national parks in search of mountain gorillas and golden monkeys.

I spent three immersive days in Ho Chi Minh City, delving into its rich heritage and dynamic urban culture. With a blend of walking tours, Hop-On-Hop-Off buses, and the vibrant Vespa tour, I explored the multifaceted charm of the city. Yet, amidst the hustle of city life, I longed to experience the natural and cultural rhythm of Vietnam. A journey to the Mekong Delta, Vietnam’s rice bowl, was a necessary pilgrimage …

I was standing on a wooden platform on the bank of the Zambezi River gazing at the magical vista. As I walked along the forested river bank breathing in the fresh air, I wondered how one man changed the landscapes along the river and around the magnificent Victoria Falls. The land used to be inhabited by the Lozi people, who were survivors from the disintegration of the Rozwi kingdom of Great Zimbabwe.

I’m at the Toka Leya Camp which is located at Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.

It’s June 2023 and I’m heading to Sarawak on Borneo Island to attend the Rainforest World Music Festival in the Sarawak Cultural Village near the city of Kuching. It was going to be amazing to touch down on the third largest island in the world which is shared by three countries: Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.

The 26th edition of Rainforest World Music Festival theme was ‘Reflections’, bringing as it does music and nature lovers together in the natural setting of the Borneo Jungle. The music festival allows the participants the opportunity to embrace sounds of music through the diversity of world culture and the local traditions of indigenous people.
