Sandugo Trade Expo to highlight local products

MORE than 80 exhibitors with locally-manufactured products in the tourism, food, fashion, gifts, accessories, crafts, and houseware industries will take center stage in the longer-running provincial products fair in Bohol dubbed Sandugo Trade Expo.

According to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in Bohol, more exhibitors are expected to participate in the Sandugo Trade Expo 2010 set on July 21-25, 2010. The Expo is expected to provide exhibitors a chance to showcase their various products.

At said Expo, Visayan craft producers who joined a series of training and one-on-one consultations with expert designers will be presenting their work prototypes, says DTI Provincial Director Maria Elena Arbon.

“The Sandugo Trade Expo is a culmination of a series of product development initiatives geared towards improving the quality and design of the export-oriented crafts and ethnic food in the region,” said Arbon, adding that the Expo not only highlights the region’s unique products and services but will also make use of local ingenuity.

With Bohol becoming a bankable tourism destination, the fair shall also showcase emerging tourist destinations in the region, and ready packaged tours will be made readily available at the booths.
