Panjim, 17th September 2025 - As part of the month-long celebrations leading up to World Tourism Day 2025, the Department of Tourism, Government of Goa, in collaboration with the Travel and Tourism Association of Goa (TTAG), SKAL International Goa and the Yuva Tourism Club, today conducted two immersive activities for students, an Electric Cycle Tour at Chorao and a “Life of Pao” Bread-Making Experience at Parvatibai Chowgule College of Arts and Science, Devorlim.

Hon’ble Minister for Tourism, Shri Rohan A. Khaunte said, “Through activities like today’s Electric Cycle Tour and Bread-Making Experience, we want to engage the youth in authentic experiences and instill in them a sense of ownership towards Goa’s heritage, ecology and traditions. This aligns with our vision to make Goa a model for regenerative tourism.”

Director of Tourism, Shri Kedar Naik added, “These hands-on programmes are more than just excursions, they are an educational journey for students, sensitising them to sustainability, local livelihoods and community engagement. We are delighted to see the enthusiastic participation from our partner institutions under the Yuva Tourism Club.”

These initiatives form part of Goa Tourism’s ongoing efforts to promote regenerative and experiential tourism, providing the youth with first-hand exposure to the state’s natural and cultural assets. By involving colleges and schools through the Yuva Tourism Club, the Department is building awareness about responsible travel practices and encouraging active participation in community-based tourism.

The Department of Tourism will continue to host a range of activities across September culminating in special events and celebrations on World Tourism Day.
