500,000 people visit ‘My Karachi’ exhibition:
KCCI president

Tuesday, June 09, 2009
By our correspondent

KARACHI: Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) President Anjum Nisar said this year 500,000 people visited the ‘My Karachi Oasis of Harmony’ exhibition, making it a bigger success than the previous year.

Speaking at a press conference on the concluding day of the exhibition at the Karachi Expo Centre on Sunday, Anjum Nisar said that after witnessing the success of the event, the Karachi Chamber had decided that from next year onwards, the event would be held in February rather than June and had been extended from three days to five days.

He said they had received an overwhelming response from women entrepreneurs and next year more stalls would be provided to them. The KCCI, he added, was aiming to achieve the target of one million visitors in 2010.

KCCI president Nisar said every year My Karachi is held to highlight the positive image of the country, especially the Karachi city and the success of the event proves that the KCCI had managed to accomplish its aim.

He also said that in August 2009, the KCCI would be celebrating its 50th anniversary which would be marked in an extravagant way. Speaking to The News, visitors at the event said that exhibitions at the Expo Centre were very welcome as they provided a great outing for families. Many said they wanted to spend the weekend in leisure and also made essential purchases at bargain prices.

The visitors also said owing to the law and order situation in the city, families now avoided visiting public places, but family-related events at the Expo Centre was an ideal excuse for friends and relatives to gather in order to have fun and shop without fear of being robbed as usually the case in the city’s bazaars.
