Goa Tourism Accelerator 2021 is a 16-week accelerator program for startup founders who are developing solutions to future-proof the travel, tourism and hospitality industry and thrive amidst the challenges brought about by COVID-19. This program will help redefine the GTM strategy for startups with some traction or apply their solution to the industry for the first time.
Of all the affected industries in the Covid-19 pandemic, the travel & tourism industry appears to have taken the hardest hit globally, impacting various associated sectors. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTCC), the Covid-19 pandemic is likely to cost the tourism industry almost USD 22 billion and a loss of nearly 50 million jobs worldwide. Goa tourism alone suffered a loss of Rs 2,000-7,200 Cr in 2020.
We are looking to rebuild and re-emerge from the crisis while the world is still battling the pandemic. We realised it takes an ecosystem to tackle the challenges.

If you want to! But it’s not mandatory.
We have a mission to serve startups. Supporting tourism startups is a logical step towards it because we locate and access all the stakeholders needed for the Tourism startup ecosystem. And if anything, we learned from our past experiences, it takes an ecosystem to rebuild Tourism in Goa. So we are only playing our part as an ecosystem enabler for the Tourism sector.
