By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Travel and holiday related establishments in Brunei Darussalam will soon be promoting their products at the 3rd Bahrain International Travel Expo (BITE) 2007, which is scheduled to take place next month.

The event is organised by Magnum Exhibitions and Events Management (MEEM), under the patronage of Crown Prince and Bahrain Defence Force Commander-in-Chief Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.

The three-day event from May 8 to May 10 at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) have seen confirmation of participation from travel and related industries in 38 countries.

One of the key highlights of the BITE 2007 will be the 'Study Abroad' segment, offering students from Bahrain and the region an opportunity to explore various career options for their future education.

Another highlight will be the publication of a 'BITE Daily Bulletin' through a special edition in association with TTN - Travel and Tourism News, the travel publication of the Al Hilal Group at the Expo.

This special publication is aimed at updating consumers on the various developments and activities as well as the latest offers.

BITE 2006 - which also saw the participation of travel and related agencies from Brunei last year - successfully witnessed a participation of 81 companies from 27 countries and a turn out of 16,800 visitors.

This year, BITE 2007 expects to draw a record of over 20,000 regional and global visitors from 38 countries.
