At ITB Asia 2025, it is about building meaningful connections with global travel partners and showing that Goa is ready with upgraded infrastructure, safer travel environments, and a wider range of experiences. Regenerative Tourism is central to our vision, ensuring that travel to Goa leaves positive footprints for communities, traditions, and the natural world.”
Director of Tourism, Kedar Naik added: “Our presence at ITB Asia 2025 is about more than promoting Goa. We want visitors to see Goa as a place where heritage, nature, and community come together to create enriching journeys.”
The visitors can explore offerings such as spiritual tourism circuits, heritage trails that bring Goa’s architecture and living traditions to life, and wellness retreats rooted in yoga and holistic healing.
The pavilion will also feature local festivals, rural tourism initiatives, and community-led projects that connect tourism growth directly to Goan communities and environmental preservation.
Through ITB Asia 2025, Goa seeks to strengthen international partnerships, reach new markets, and position itself as a globally connected destination, rooted in its identity while embracing sustainable and future-ready tourism practices.
