For example in Panaji, there are some trade shows mainly targetted at business visitors which are held at Bambolim, which cannot be reached conveniently for those who do not have a vehicle.

On the other hand, many of the trade fairs targetting consumers are held at Don Bosco in Panaji city, close to market, which is very accessible. These trade fairs are also advertised extensively in the local newspaper.

However the rates for the trade show are fairly high, with one booth costing Rs 11000- Rs 12000 for 5-6 days, approximately Rs 2000 a day. So the seller has to make a profit of more than Rs 2000 daily from the show to cover expenses.
