Following the successful conclusion of Global Game Connect 2026 in Colombo, the organizing team held an appreciation and strategic alignment meeting with Sri Lanka tourism representatives and ecosystem stakeholders to discuss future collaboration opportunities in business tourism, MICE development, and regional industry growth.

Held in Colombo, the exhibition gathered international operators, technology providers, payment companies, affiliates, marketing professionals, and ecosystem stakeholders across multiple global markets. Beyond the exhibition floor itself, the event created opportunities for strategic networking, regional dialogue, and long-term partnership development.

Following the event, the GGC organizing team connected with Sri Lanka tourism representatives and local ecosystem stakeholders through an exclusive appreciation and strategic discussion session focused on the future of business tourism, MICE development, and international cooperation within the region.

The discussion highlighted Sri Lanka’s increasing potential as a regional platform for international business events, supported by the country’s expanding tourism infrastructure, strategic geographic position, and growing international visibility across South Asia.

As part of its long-term vision, Global Game Connect aims to continue strengthening global-local industry synergy by connecting international business resources and opportunities with Sri Lanka’s evolving tourism and economic ecosystem. The platform also plans to expand strategic partnerships that contribute to sustainable regional growth and long-term economic value creation.

Special appreciation was extended to Hon. Prof. Ruwan Ranasinghe, Deputy Minister of Tourism, for his strong support toward Global Game Connect 2026 and his contribution to the successful development of the exhibition. His openness toward future international collaboration and continued support for Sri Lanka’s tourism and MICE sectorsplayed an important role in strengthening connections between local stakeholders and global industry participants.

The support received from Sri Lanka tourism representatives and ecosystem partners reflects the country’s growing ambition to position itself as a leading destination for international business tourism, networking, and industry exchange within South Asia.

As Global Game Connect continues expanding its international presence, the platform remains committed to creating more opportunities for collaboration, business connectivity, and regional development across emerging international markets.

Building on the momentum of Global Game Connect 2026, preparations and strategic planning for Global Game Connect 2027 are already underway, with continued focus on strengthening Sri Lanka’s position as a regional hub for international networking, business tourism, and industry collaboration.
