Goa tourism minister Khaunte to lure international travellers at WTM London

Minister Rohan Khaunte is in London to attend World Travel Market, Rahul Laud reports

Goa’s Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte Minister of Tourism who also holds other portfolios like  Minister for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications, and Printing & Stationery is leading a delegation, including Sanjeev Ahuja, IAS, Secretary (Tourism), Sandip Jacques, IAS, Secretary (Exposition of St. Francis Xavier). Kuldeep Arolkar, Tourism Deputy Director and Shawn Mendes, OSD to Minister for Tourism, at the World Travel Market – the annual Mecca for the global travel and tour trade.

The Goan delegation will speak to speak to the media, tour operators, and tourism trade in London to promote the Goan state.

Another paradigm shift is the new thinking that Goa is much more than Fish Fenny and football, and aims to move beyond its reputation as a beach destination.

Khaunte’s dynamic policy is to reach out to the global traveler that Goan hospitality is world class and its roots and essence are world-class in the hinterland, eco-tourism facilities and a regenerative tourism approach that is more than sustainable making it the first state in India with this tourist approach.

Khaunte is convinced and strongly believes that the environment, local communities, and the Goan economy will flourish through regenerative tourism practices:  In contrast to sustainable tourism, regenerative tourism goes beyond sustainability by actively seeking to improve and restore ecosystems, communities, and cultures.

The regenerative approach aims to leave a positive impact, contributing to the well-being of destinations and fostering resilience,  Cultural and environmental preservation and restoration,  Community empowerment, and Inclusive tourism – a collaborative public-private participative approach.

Khaunte desires a serious solid long-term plan and strategy that goes beyond the glitz glitter glamour of the Casinos.
