HHF Asia is an event designed to serve the dynamic and diversifying hotel, hospitality, tourism
and food businesses in South Asia. It follows the successful HHF in 2011 and 2012.
Sri Lanka has topped the 13 destinations categorized as popular favourite places to visit in 2013.
This ranking has been accorded to Sri Lanka by a panel of experts assigned by British Airways to
compile a list of the top 13 new destinations and popular favourite places to visit in 2013.
Hotel, Hospitality & Food Asia 2015 is a professional trade forum happening for the third time
in Sri Lanka for those involved in the business of hotels, food service and tourism throughout
South Asia. With the immense success gained at the previous shows, the event will focus on
catering to the needs of the fast growing Hotel, Hospitality and Tourism sectors.
The Panel of Experts have made their determination based on tourists heading to the island in
increasing numbers after the end of terrorism, attractions like beaches, elephant treks and a large
number of UNESCO world heritage sites to visit in the country.

& FOOD ASIA
Cut-price paradise back on the map Best for:
Culture, off the beaten track, value for money
Battered tragically by the 2004 Boxing Day
tsunami and wracked by civil war from 1983 to
2009, many areas of the country have remained
off limits to even the most intrepid traveller.
Now the bitter conflict is over, investment is
fuelling the tourism industry, and visitor
numbers are steadily increasing. Prices are
affordable, and with low-cost flights from the
convenient travel hub of Bangkok, Sri Lanka is
emerging as one of the planet’s best-value
destinations.
