The annual housing fair of the Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh (REHAB) is not being held this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, it now plans to hold the next year's fair in March next.
"We had a plan to organise the 'REHAB Fair 2020' at the end of this year, but it is not possible due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation," said an industry insider.
"Now we intend to hold the 'REHAB Fair 2021' in the capital in March next year, aiming to promote the country's real estate sector," he added.
The REHAB, an organisation of over 100 developers, has recently sought permission from the commerce ministry to hold the next annual fair.
It has proposed organising the fair from March 16 to 21, 2021 at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC), which is expected to create a matchmaking platform among the customers, housing-related financial organisations and the real estate companies.
According to the organisers, around 200 companies, including developers, building materials firms and financial institutions, will participate in the fair.
