Goa Tourism actively participated in the international trade fair for travel and tourism, MITT Moscow 2023, a 3-day event from the 16th to the 18th of March.
The Tourism Department had put up an innovative pavilion showcasing the Goan culture, rich heritage, local festivals, landscape beauty, and tourism offerings such as different water sports, adventure activities, helicopter tourism, eco-tourism, hinterlands, and much more.
The pavilion was inaugurated by Gina Uika, Deputy Chief of Mission, Indian Embassy Moscow, and in the presence of respected dignitaries from the Department of Goa Tourism.
On Day 1 of the exhibition, the Goa Tourism Department participated in several B2B meetings to strengthen its tie-up with the international market and explore possible business opportunities. Perfect Flight, Progress Tour Group Ltd, and Helene Lloyd – Managing Director of TMI Consultancy are a few among them.
Day 2 and Day 3 turned out productive as the Goa pavilion was visited by numerous dignitaries and industry experts who took the time to interact with the Tourism department officials and got to know more about the updated Goa Tourism portfolio.
The last two days were a huge success, with several discussions and meetings to strengthen relationships that would bolster the appeal of tourism in Goa worldwide. The department officials had an interesting B2B discussion with Bagirov Sergei, a producer associated with KIT Film Studio, a Gazprom company, to explore the idea of Goa as a future film shooting destination for Russian feature films.
The Department of Tourism, Government of Goa, witnessed a trend towards holistic well-being, and cultural immersion which is an indication of growing demand among travelers for experiences that nourish both the body and the mind.
