Goa Tourism is working with the neighbouring States to offer a wholesome tourist circuit on the west coast at the upcoming Goa International Travel Mart (GITM), a top official said.
“We want to build synergies with the west coast states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Kerala to create a wholesome tourist circuit in the region,” the Goa Tourism and Development Corporation Managing Director, Mr Melvyn Vaz, said over the weekend.
GITM 2011 (October 21 to 23), being organised jointly by the Goa tourism department and Goa Tourism Development Corporation in association with ITB Berlin, will see attendance from global tourism and travel industry, Mr Vaz said.
Theme
The theme of the second edition is ‘Unearth the Hidden Treasures of Goa'.
“Goa is a premier holiday destination and is placed firmly on the global travel map. The first edition of GITM last year spearheaded its growth further, bringing better opportunities to the travel and tourism trade,” Mr Vaz said.
He added that GITM 2011 will promote the entire west coast region, bringing together the coastal States on a common platform.
