Message

   Fellow LSE Global Real Estate Members

I hope all of you are keeping well and enjoying the summer of 2010. 

As we look ahead to autumn, I would like to bring to your attention to a proposed trade delegation (done in cooperation with the Embassy of Sri Lanka, Washington D.C, and the Sri Lanka Board of Investment) of our membership to visit Colombo, Sri Lanka, October 27 - 29, 2010. 

During this visit, our LSE GREG delegates will be provided top-tier exposure to the leading financial and economic institutions in Sri Lanka in order to gain a better understanding of this growing and dynamic market and to better appreciate ongoing investment opportunties. 

During the visit, our delegation will meet with high level representatives from the following institutions:

1) Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) - http://www.cse.lk/welcome.htm
2) Sri Lankan Board of Investment (BOI) - http://www.boi.lk/
3) Asia Capital - http://www.asiacapital.lk/
4) Sri Lankan Central Bank - http://www.cbsl.gov.lk/
5) Sri Lanka Development Foundation - http://www.sldfonline.org/ 
6) Other leading Private/Public Business Institutions.

Investment Areas of focus will include:

1) Real Estate
2) Information Technology
3) Manufacturing
4) Equity Market
5) Agriculture

Estimated Associated Costs: Total Fee: $1,600*. 

Travel: Typically $500-600/return trip - depending on point of departure from Europe/Asia. 
Accomodation: $200/night - Proposed Venue, Cinnamon Grand, Sri Lanka.

Expense Fee: $400.00. -  Program Fee (Administrative Costs, Ground Transportation)

  * Cost variable given point of departure to visit Sri Lanka of individual   
     participants. 

At present, I would like to gauge the interest level of our membership to be part of this delegation. Therefore, at your convenience, please email me at asankapathiraja@gmail.com indicating your level of interest. Further, in the email, please answer the following questions: 

Name:
Job Description/Title:
Economic Area of Interest: 
Current Location:

Furthermore,  our trade delegation will be limited to 10-25 participants to ensure maximum exposure while on the ground in Colombo. Once the final tally of participants is tallied, we will be able to move forward to seek discounts in both hotel and airline travel.

In closing, I wish to emphasize the unique opportunity and value that this trade   
delegation will provide to our membership. Considerable effort has gone into securing the participation of these various actors and organizations. As Sri Lanka looks ahead after decades of Civil War, opportunity is prime. 

Best Regards
