Kochi
Tourism

With the state's glory days at the top of the travel route, the Kerala Tourism Mart which starts on October 5 is expecting to draw in crowds from the trade and the public. A special marina is being constructed at the venue, the International Convention Centre in Kochi to accommodate 15 houseboats that will serve as exhibition stands during the fair. Cultural programmes and authentic Kerala cuisine have been organised for visiting delegates. Other pluses to get some business done: an Internet café, fax and phone centres, meeting venues and so on. For details call (0484) 323-010.

Chennai
Exhibition
If you have a penchant for prints, check out Graphic Expressions, a confluence of 96 artists, at the CP Art Centre. Prints of etchings, silk screen and mixed media conjure up diverse strokes and philosophies. Ved Nayar's realistic serigraph Touch Stone-2 is sharply contrasted by Sekhar Kanade's Roots-II, which has some wayward strokes of colour. On till September 30. Call (044) 434-1778/ 434-6526.
