01 — A new chapter begins

For centuries this island traded in cinnamon, tea and sapphire. This December, Colombo opens its doors to the world's cellars — and to the trade that will carry them across South Asia.

CISS is Sri Lanka's dedicated international platform for spirits, wine, beer and beverage — built for B2B deals and B2C discovery, connecting global producers with importers, distributors, retailers, hotels, bars and duty-free operators.
