Speaking at the launch, Yusoof said that Classic Funtime was a move in the right direction and in line with the group’s vision to focus and expand within its sectors.
He added the potential of such an alliance is obvious when considering the growing MICE market. 
Classic Travel is part of Expolanka Holdings PLC whose interests cover logistics, leisure and ventures and spans a global network of 20 countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the USA
Funtime (Pvt.0 Ltd, an event production company, has been a pioneer in all things related to events and showbiz and since its inception built up a reputation for its professionalism and creativity setting industry benchmarks for events in the country. 

“With the amalgamation of Classic and Funtime, we are building a formidable combination of travel, leisure and entertainment solutions. As a team, we will offer a complete one-stop shop to the MICE market – destination weddings and the event arena, which includes corporate entertainment, while also collaborating on new projects that leverage on our respective strengths,” said Imran.
