Guest of Honour

Last season we recorded a growth of around 5 per cent year on year for FTAs, and around 30 per cent for domestic tourists. With the e-visa facility we expect a better response. This year we participated in many trade shows and road-shows. However we are concentrating on FAM trips. This year around 150 travel agents were taken to Goa with support of Air Arabia and 12 media persons on Air Asia. We will be focussing on the Southeast Asian market. UK is a strong market for Goa. The Indian travel trade is high on our list.
