It gives me immense pleasure to extend our warmest welcome all the distinguished international delegates, speakers, panelist, buyers, bloggers, print media, online media, and television channel from round the globe especially from Asia & Europe together with all the valuable representatives from Tourism organizations, buyers, sellers and local participants in the Buddhaland, Lumbini, Nepal to make the first ever Buddhist International Travel Mart (BITM 2019) with the theme “Explore the Buddhaland: A Gateway to Buddhist Circuits” a resounding success. We also welcome all the honored participants and delegates from Tourism fraternity and venerable Monks, scholars and participants with spiritual hearts from different parts of the Buddhist world. I have very strong conviction that this 1st Buddhist International Travel Mart (BITM2019) will go a long way to give us all many memorable spiritual and tourism activities and indelible experiences to carry back home. Availing of this opportunity I also would like to invite you all to participate in the 2nd edition of BITM next year. This historic & first ever occasion is sure to mark its glory because of the gracious presence and encouragement of our Chief Guest Right Honorable Prime Minister Mr. K. P. Sharma Oli. We appreciate your magnanimity and thank you with gratitude for your kind presence at this historic congregation. .
