Srilanka is one of the growing countries in Asian region. And achieve the higher number of tourist and the tourism income.
Srilanka Airport denoted as Colombo Airport or Bandaranayke international Airport [BIA] improves t heir value added services continuously.
I recently went to the departure unit of BIA and found some good opportunity for a businesses and advertisements.
Here is the one Opportunity for advertisement.
The cost of the Board is Rs. 3.5 Million per annum. The fee is inclusive of all the expenses related.
Such as tea, rubber, coconuts, and so on,
Such as banks, financial Bodies and so on,
Such as insurance companies, taxi companies,
Such as hotels, Tourism boards, beach hotels, Air taxis, and so on,
Such as vehicle importers, sole agents of imported products and so on.
As per the Price of Rs. 3.5 Million, The following calculation will show the benefits of it.
Rs.291, 666 per Month,
Rs. 9,589 per Day,
Rs. 399.54 per Hour,
Rs.6.67 per Minutes.
As per cost benefit analysis, the cost per minute is Rs. 6.67 and per hour Rs. 399.54. The Airport will handle minimum of 500 people per minutes in peak time [my assumption]. Therefore if the 25 people see this advertisement the cost spend for the person will be Rs. 0.2668.
This will be a good opportunity for a businessman to take decision and expand their brand name.
Today early morning I have been BIA to send my brother, I have seen the place which I talk is utilized by Dialog. It’s a great explores to dialog to advertised there and promote their brand to general Public.
In the second consecutive year Jaffna Trade fair organized by the Lanka Exhibition and conference Service (Pvt) at Ground Adjoining with Durayappah Stadium from January 21 to 23, 2011.
This trade fair brings the opportunity to all the industry to set up their business in their land with Esteem technology experience available in outside Jaffna.
Specially this trade fair support and powered by the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Srilanka [FCCISL], Chambers of Commerce and Industry Yarlpanam and Srilanka Convention Bureau.
This exhibition carries a slogan of “Opens for business” and Indian named as a Partner of country for this exhibition.
I have been physically be at last exhibition, the exhibition help me a lot to indentifies about the industrial developments available in market and how it suitable for Jaffa Populations and their businesses.
Specially most of the Srilankan and Indian companies are participating and made available their products to sell and they provide a free guidance about the operations and the production approaches. It’s a good learning to be at least to participate.
And it’s a good guidance for Jaffna Youths to develop their own businesses in small level and build up to the international standards.
Jaffna was an Industrial Zone once upon a time, so we better get the chance back and developed our Homeland.
the success of the Damro furniture is their distribution and the supply chain effectiveness. the Damro is a good example for a srilankan industry to, how to handle a proper business with a customers to reach a nearest showrooms.The effectiveness of the customer relationship and supply chains are mostly new to srilankan companies to adopt.
for example Damro having nearly 53 showrooms in srilanka, 35 showrooms in India and 5 show rooms in Australia. some of the showrooms are operating as Franchise Showrooms, but most of the showrooms are operating independently and providing a valuable customer services.

Spice Jet launched Chennai – Colombo – Chennai regular flight scheduled from 9th October 2010.The first flights schedule to the take off from Chennai at 1.30 am and Arrived to BIA at 2.50 am. The return flight to Chennai was take off from Colombo at 4.10 am in the same day.
The starting fare of the round trip[Chennai – Colombo -Chennai or Colombo -Chennai – Colombo] is an Indian Rupees of 999 [ approximately SLR 3000]. this price reduction lead a huge demand to the Spice Jet in Srilankan and Indian Air Travelers.
The spice Jet is one of Indian low cost, domestic Airline. Its achieves of nearly a 32% of the India’s domestic market with total of 22 Boeing Aircrafts. [Boeing 737- 800 – 17 Aircraft and Boeing 737 – 900ER – 5 Aircraft ] and Spice Jet orders feather 36 Boeing Aircraft of 737-800 for their future development in domestic and international Air carrier.
The recent acquisition [nearly 37% Stake of Spice Jet] by the the SUN Network founder Mr.Kalanithi Maran, is leads the hope to the Indian investors to see future development of Spice Jet. Same time there is a possibility to Change of the Spice Jet Brand Name into New brand name which related with SUN Network Brands. This will held, only if he control over 50% Stake directly or Indirectly.
In Overall, the Spice Jet is a successful entrance to the Srilankan Market with a huge brand Promotion with their low cost Air travels [SLR( Srilankan Rupees) 3000], but Still questionable the survival in Srilankan market with these high price competitions.
but i leave the hopes, if the Mr.Kalanithi Maran Takeoff Spice Jet Under his Control, he will be a one of the Richest man in the world soon.
