Minister Rohan Khaunte backs year-round, responsible tourism drive
GOA: Goa Tourism wrapped up its participation at Satte 2026 on a confident note, reporting sustained engagement from domestic and international buyers at the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre.
The three-day travel trade exhibition saw the Goa pavilion attract steady footfall, following its inauguration by Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. Officials said the response reflected growing industry interest in the State’s shift towards regenerative and year-round tourism.
The delegation included Goa Tourism assistant director (tourism) Jayesh Kankonkar; Goa Tourism Development Corporation deputy general manager (marketing) Deepak Narvekar; and Goa Tourism assistant tourist officer Chitra Vengurlekar. The team held a series of B2B meetings with tour operators, travel trade representatives and destination management companies across key source markets.
Discussions centred on experiential travel, spiritual and cultural circuits, hinterland exploration, wellness, adventure tourism and off-season offerings: all aligned with Goa’s regenerative tourism roadmap. About 82 co-exhibitors, including hoteliers and DMCs, participated alongside the official delegation.
Minister for tourism Rohan A Khaunte, said the platform underscored Goa’s ambition to position itself as a progressive and resilient destination. The regenerative model, he argued, balances community interests, environmental safeguards and economic growth. Director of tourism Kedar Naik, described Satte as a crucial industry touchpoint, noting rising interest in Goa’s evolving tourism narrative beyond its beach image.
