Dailogues de Goa

"Dailogues de Goa" is a series of travel programs focusing on Goa. Immersive, deep dive itineraries on different aspects of one of India's smallest state. Through Dialogues de Goa we unwrap various aspects of Goa like its Architecture, Cuisine, Music, Politics and Business. 

4 days of traveling through Goa, understanding it, through curated interactive sessions with historians, journalists, activists, and many visits and experiences in context to the subject. All this juxtoposed with stay in heritage hotels, explorative cuisine and many fun activites like heritage walks, kayaking and cycling. 

The politics of Goa is as facinating as it gets, with a voter base of the entire state being less than many constituencies of India. The unique history of Goa being the first European colony in Asia to the post liberalisation politics of statehood and later being only the 2nd non congress government in the country after Kerala. 

Goa now faces unprecedented challenges, particularly finding a balance between economic growth and enviornmental preservation. Being small it has also become a laborartory for other regional parties to test waters for their national ambitions.

In this context we will shortly be launching hte first immersive travel program under the "Dialogues de Goa" series on the politics of Goa. 

We are putting together an itinerary soon, stay tuned. You can find details on https://www.indigointeractives.com/

A Rs.10,000\- question?

  There are many distinguishing factors about the Indian traveller. Globally the trend is to travel more like a nuclear unit, your immediate family, with your partner or even solo, but in India we like to travel in a group. The society group, a corporate outing with your colleagues, travelling with your religious group for a pilgrimage or even the extended family coming together for a holiday.  The logistics of planning for a family holiday is immense and can get stressful, family watsaap groups will be buzzing with ideas right from destinations to mode of travel and activities that need to be included, then there is the process of multiple working professionals getting leave, the dates have to match, the schedule of the children travelling together, their schooling, exam’s tuitions and classes get accommodated.  Once this gigantic democratic exercise concludes, the process of selecting the hotel / villa / homestay and planning the daily schedule of your holiday commences...

Wanted Urgently for the State of Goa - A Visionary Leader

The project outline The Waterfront of Torda The beaches of Goa and the tourism ecosystem around it has built the brand Goa but it is the life away from the beaches that truly charms you in ways you cannot imagine.  It is like having an extra pair of Lungs, it soothes, inspires and drives your deep passions. Many walks through its narrow lanes under the full moon, while the sun rises or disappears behind the hills before it sets, have given clarity of thought, comforted and motivated me.  We are fortunate enough to be living in the hills of Porvorim, surrounded by beautiful villages all around, there is heritage, there is a bird sanctuary at its borders, also a network of beautiful estuaries  The planning authorities in their wisdom have always gone for grand projects that are mere posturing and pandering to a vote bank, such is the system, there have been grand announcements of helicopter tourism, seaplane tourism, many other large projects. The tourism minister of Goa is...

There is only 1 Goa in India

 Goa first came on the tourist map in the 60's as a hippie haven, probably the golden era of tourism in this tiny state. The tourists were more sensitive towards local culture and the environment. They consumed less and were happy living the life of the locals.  When the benefits of liberalisation started to trickle down and when a new and ambitious middle class started travelling, Goa witnessed mass tourism in the 90's and 2000's. There was a sudden surge of investments, construction and development, the era of unplanned tourism growth. Everyone wanted to be in Goa and everyone wanted to invest here.  The result of this era is what we experience in Goa of today, the relaxed vibe gave way to environmental degradation, overcrowding and cultural commodification, everything that this sunny seaside state was not known for.  Yet there is only 1 Goa in India and tourists still come here in hordes to experience the beaches, architecture, cuisine and the Goan vibe.  Whe...
