About Program
The Goa Tourism Accelerator is a program specifically designed for visionary startup founders
who are developing solutions to futureproof the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries. With
a focus on empowering stakeholders and driving growth in the tourism sector, this 12–16-week
accelerator program aims to redefine the Go-To-Market strategy for startups with existing
traction or those introducing their solutions to the industry for the first time.
Through the previous two cohorts of the program, the Goa Tourism Accelerator has
successfully supported 25 startups out of the 125+ applications received from around the world.
These startups have showcased technological innovations in various crucial areas such as waste
management, customer experience, new payment solutions, mobility, and sustainability,
among others. By rethinking tourism, particularly in the face of climate change and global
warming, the program strives to facilitate effective solutions by encouraging the right questions
and driving transformative change.
Join us at FiiRE as we embark on this exciting journey with the Tourism Accelerator Program,
where startups can expect guidance and mentorship to navigate the challenges of the industry.
Together, we will shape the future of tourism and create sustainable solutions for a better
