Visitors to get feel of Goa right from airport

Vasco: Goa airport has taken steps to give

visitors

a Goan feel from the minute they arrive. Airport director Gagan Malik said there is quite a lot about Goa that people do not know and that the airport authorities are attempting to highlight those facets.

As part of the initiative, the

arrival lounge

and the aiprort’s compound wall have art work showcasing various heritage sites of Goa. The entrance gate, meanwhile, has been given a

carnival

look with face masks decorating the area and colourful illumination at night.

“People feel that Goa is about beaches and merry-making. But Goa is also a serious destination that is rich in heritage. It’s nice to see people taking selfies at the entrance gate of airport. Visitors are also often seen exploring Goa at the airport itself,,” Malik said.
