Panaji: The Goa Tourism Department will host a roadshow in Bahrain on November 23, 2025 as part of its strategy to deepen engagement with the Gulf tourism market, a senior functionary said.
The Tourism Department spokesman said that the initiative aims to strengthen trade partnerships, promote year-round travel and introduce Bahrain’s travel industry to Goa’s evolving tourism landscape.
He said that the roadshow will be held in Bahrain on November 23, 2025.
State Tourism Minister Rohan A Khaunte said that Bahrain and the larger Gulf region hold immense potential for Goa.
Through this roadshow, we aim to present a refined version of Goa that is rooted in culture yet contemporary in its tourism approach, he said.
Khaunte said that with Feels Like Goa and the introduction of trends such as Nocto Tourism, Jet-Setting and CalmCation, we are positioning Goa as a global destination that caters to both adventure-seeking travellers and those seeking tranquillity and wellness.
State Tourism Director Kedar Naik said that our engagement in Bahrain is an important step in expanding Goa’s visibility across the Gulf.
Travellers from this region appreciate quality, diversity and authenticity, values that Goa proudly offers, he said adding that our updated strategies and the integration of emerging trends aim to provide travellers with a richer, more curated experience while strengthening Goa’s global footprint.
He said that the roadshow will highlight Goa’s dynamic new Feels Like Goa campaign, an elevated storytelling approach crafted to present Goa as a destination rich in culture, nature, spirituality, culinary diversity and immersive experiences. Delegates will be introduced to the State’s vision of promoting regenerative, responsible and high-value tourism.
Goa Tourism will also unveil three emerging global travel trends that have been seamlessly integrated into the State’s tourism blueprint. Nocto Tourism will spotlight Goa’s structured nightlife offerings, enhanced safety frameworks, entertainment districts and live cultural experiences, Naik said.
He said that Jet-Setting will focus on Goa’s growing cinematic footprint, from the iconic movies shot in Goa to the increasing number of global film and OTT productions choosing the State.
This trend encourages film-inspired travel and positions Goa as a sought-after cinematic tourism hub. CalmCation will focus on wellness retreats, nature-immersive escapes, yoga and Ayurveda experiences and serene hinterland getaways designed for restorative travel, he added.
