At the heart of this global event will be the Goa Tourism Pavilion, located at Booth B13, which will reflect the lively theme ‘Sunshine and More in Goa’. The pavilion will offer a vivid glimpse into Goa’s rich, diverse, and evolving tourism offerings-designed to appeal to the modern, global traveller.
Speaking about the state’s participation, Minister for Tourism, Mr. Rohan A. Khaunte, said, “Goa has always been one of the most sought-after destinations for international travellers. Our presence at OTDYKH Leisure 2025 is yet another step in strengthening Goa’s global footprint. Through the theme ‘Sunshine and More in Goa,’ we aim to highlight the wide range of experiences our state offers-from pristine beaches to lush hinterlands, from wellness retreats to cultural heritage.

This is an opportunity to position Goa as a destination that celebrates sustainability, authenticity, and culture.”
The 2025 showcase will present Goa as much more than a beach paradise. Visitors to the Goa Pavilion will explore an immersive journey through the state’s wide-ranging tourism experiences. These include serene beaches, luxurious hospitality, wellness and spiritual tourism, heritage trails, adventure tourism, and unexplored hinterland trails.
