Russia, which sends the largest contingent of foreign tourists to Goa, will make its presence felt at the Goa International Travel Mart (GITM) being held in April. Besides projecting Goa as a tourism destination, the Russian musicians, performers, a dash of traditional vodka and special Russian snacks are expected to spiff up the Russian presence.
"The mart is a promising event to promote Russia, its tourism opportunities and culture, as this event brings together travel companies, hoteliers, tourism authorities and many other industry players," said Ekaterina Belyakova, head of the Goa-based Russian Information Center. A special seminar on Russia as a destination will also be held at the GITM, which is being organised by Goa Tourism April 2-4.
"Experts will introduce best tour packages options to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Speakers will also shed light on plans to organise Indo-Russian cultural festivals in both the countries to promote closer relations," Belyakova said. Business delegates from several Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries as well as from Mongolia and Kirgizstan will be participating in the GITM.
