The UAE has allocated free building space for the establishment of stalls to display Sri Lankan products such as tea, spices and gems.

As many as 192 countries have put up stalls promoting their products and investments.

Tourism is a key area being promoted by Sri Lanka here in Dubai under the direction of Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau.

The Dubai expo event is conducted between October 1, 2021, and March 31, 2022.
