Delegates were warmly welcomed with a musical performance and taken to a reserved lounge where they were served Goan snacks such as Ragi chips, cashew nuts, and tender coconut water. They were then taken on a bus to the Grand Hyatt Goa.

The airports in Goa have made arrangements and taken steps to ensure that the arrival process is efficient. Additionally, services such as a money exchange counter and SIM card counter are also available at the airports.
