Forty-eight organizations from different countries including Nepal and host Bangladesh were participating in 5 pavilions and 60 booths at Dhaka Travel Mart 2018. National Tourism Organisations, Airlines, Tour Operators, Hotels, Resorts, Online Booking Portals, Healthcare Service Providers were the major participants.

Bangladeshis were keen on knowing about different tourism destinations. Specifically, activities and products of Nepal were on their hot list of questions.

This mart right after the tragic US- Bangla Airlines crash at Kathmandu airport had importance on its own. People visiting the Nepal stand were coming with deep love and respect. They in a way were sympathizing us and themselves; the mart thus was successful in reassuring Bangladeshi people about hospitality at par that Nepalese offer.
