“I am certain that collaboration was one of the key factors BTIA was alluding to. Nonetheless they also had to take that discussion to their membership. I believe the membership state their opinion and voted having the Chocolate Festival keeping the dates that were set out which is the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth. People have already made arrangements in terms of travelling from abroad, rooms, tickets, hotels, rentals and all these logistics. That is what the broader membership had explained and here we are with a very successful and fruitful ending after the deliberation.”
