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/

An Attack on the idea of India

  To go for a holiday, families traveling together is a celebration. A celebration of coming together of hardworking families to explore different cultures, cuisines and landscapes. Schedules are planned, leave applications submitted, shopping lists prepared and bookings made in advance. The anticipation builds up to the date of travel and there is pure joy as the holiday begins. You can witness this joy at any airport or railway station. The many flashing cameras document each part of the experience all to come together in the many reels.  In India we are spoiled with the choices of destinations for holidays. The diversity in culture, cuisine and landscape is a very wide spectrum from the Himalayas to the coasts of Peninsular India, the history of each region distinct with many options for a memorable family holiday.  The domestic tourism industry in India is robust, a growing economy is fueling the aspirations of millions to take a well deserved break and go for a holid...

Tourism planning and policy

It is not a good feeling when we know we are much more capable, have a lot more potential and yet are not achieving our best due to various reasons, all we need is a stronger collective will, which we seem to lack as a country. Tourism is a major engine of economic growth. Several countries have transformed their economies using their tourism potential to the fullest. Our great country is as fascinating as it gets for the world traveller. The diversity of landscape, language, cuisine, music, cultures, climates, religion etc is just astounding. India would be a country hard to miss for the discerning traveller, yet we are not even close to achieve our full potential in the tourism market. Our market share compared to many other developed countries are miniscule. Yes, we have made progress and we continue to do so every year and day but there is a long way ahead before we match the world leaders in tourist arrivals and growth. This even though the product we have to offer in terms...
