Set amidst 40 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens with water fountains, the (BMICH) is a symbol of international cooperation and a vibrant hub for global dialogue and cultural exchange in Sri Lanka. It continues to host significant local and international events, solidifying its reputation as a leading MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) venue in South Asia.
