Through our participation at ITB Berlin, we aim to forge meaningful partnerships and position Goa as a leading global tourism destination that prioritizes responsible and conscious travel.”

We are actively promoting Goa beyond beaches, hinterland tourism, yoga and wellness tourism and much more.”

Attendees at the booth will have the opportunity to delve into Goa’s dynamic cultural legacy, its verdant rural areas, spiritual tourism, adventurous pursuits, and sustainable travel options. To vividly showcase Goa’s spirit, the pavilion will host live performances by skilled Goan artists, who will present traditional music and dance.
