As the global travel and tourism industry gears up for the prestigious Arabian Travel Market (ATM) Dubai 2024, there’s one destination that’s poised to make a significant impact – Goa, India. Renowned for its pristine beaches, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant communities, Goa is set to showcase its commitment to sustainable tourism at ATM Dubai 2024 with this year’s theme: Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Transforming Travel Through Entrepreneurship.
Attendees of ATM Dubai at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), from May 6th to May 9th, 2024, will have the opportunity to explore the Goa Pavilion, Stand No: AS7259, where they’ll experience an immersive presentation spotlighting the region’s innovative endeavors in sustainable tourism.
