A new startup travel portal based in Goa is hoping the beautiful game will entice travelers to the area, particularly with the star appeal of Brazilian football legend Zico to count on.
Tourism portal Goantourism.com has launched a special discount package for football fans to watch FC Goa in action in the upcoming Indian Super League starting next month.
The club is coached by the former Brazil world cup player Zico and includes two ex-Arsenal stars Andre Santos and Robert Pires in the team.
"We have received enquiries about tickets, that’s why we came up with the special ISL package with 10 to 15% discount on game tickets and season tickets," said general manager Mario Fernandes.
"Instead of multi-point transactions like booking your travel separately and then booking ISL tickets, our portal provides a one-point solution for football fans," he said.
"We are banking on the fact that football lovers from Kolkata, other metros and elsewhere in the country are keen on seeing Zico, who is a world football legend."
He added that the website would also be promoted in Kolkata, which is also one of India’s hotbeds of football.
