How It Works
A Structured Path From Enquiry to Direct Deal
Every hosted visit follows the same disciplined sequence — so nothing about your trip to Surat Diamond Bourse is left to chance.
- 01
Discover
You learn what Surat Diamond Bourse makes possible: source-direct pricing, on-site customs, and a manufacturer base that few international buyers have accessed directly. We start with a conversation about your buying category, typical volume, and what a successful visit would look like for your business.
- 02
Enquire & Book
Submit a visit request with your company details, buyer type, and preferred travel window. We confirm feasibility, outline what's included, and lock in dates that work around your existing buying calendar.
- 03
We Handle Travel
Flights, accommodation, and ground transport in Surat are arranged around your schedule. You receive a single itinerary — no juggling multiple vendors or navigating an unfamiliar city on your own.
- 04
Experience SDB
You walk the towers of Surat Diamond Bourse with a dedicated host. Meetings are pre-arranged with manufacturers matched to your buying profile — category, quality tier, and volume — so time on the ground is spent evaluating stones, not searching for the right seller.
- 05
Direct Deal
Negotiate and transact directly with the manufacturer. On-site customs and export clearance — housed within SDB itself — support the paperwork side of any purchase, so the deal doesn't stall on logistics.
- 06
Repeat Visits
The relationships built on a first visit are the real long-term value. Return visits move faster: manufacturers already understand your standards and volume, and matching gets more precise each time.
FAQ
Common Questions From Buyers
Do I need to make a purchase on my first visit?+
No. Many buyers use a first visit to evaluate manufacturers, quality, and pricing before committing to volume. That said, most buyers who complete a hosted visit do transact directly, since meetings are matched specifically to their buying profile.
How long does a typical hosted visit take?+
Most visits run 3 to 5 days, which is enough time to meet several matched manufacturers, tour Surat Diamond Bourse, and complete due diligence on any stones under consideration. Longer visits can be arranged for buyers evaluating multiple categories.
What does VisitSDB charge for a hosted visit?+
Pricing depends on the scope of the visit — travel origin, length of stay, and number of manufacturer meetings. See our pilot program for current packages, or contact us for a scoped quote.
Is travel and accommodation really included?+
Yes — flights, accommodation, and ground transport in Surat are arranged and coordinated by VisitSDB as part of a hosted visit, based on the package you select.
How are manufacturers selected for meetings?+
We match manufacturers to your stated buying category, quality tier, and volume before you arrive, so meetings are relevant from the first conversation rather than a general tour of the building.
