Local Transport
Dabolim (Goa) airport is about 25 km away from the conference venues and official accommodation facilities. Please provide your arrival and departure itinerary to the hotel reservations or local organizing committee (pages2013@ncaor.org). The organizing committee is arranging free transport facilities from the airport to the official accommodations for OSM/YSM participants on 10 and 12 February. Participants are therefore requested to provide their itineraries to the local organizing committee. Participants arriving on other dates, or at inconvenient hours, are advised to approach the PREPAID TAXI counters just outside the arrival hall of Dabolim Airport. These taxi counters will charge you government approved rates to your destination. Note that this is a prepaid system, safe, and you do not have to pay any extra amount after you reach your destination. Please avoid taking cabs from outside the airport since they may charge more and are less reliable.
Transport between the conference venues and all official meeting places, hotels, and guest houses will be arranged by the local organizing committee.
Participants staying at other places must organize their own transport to the venue. As the venue is off the main roads it is not well-connected by public transport and you may have to arrange for a taxi.
Participants who would like to travel around Goa may ask their respective hotels to arrange for transportation. Transportation for all official field trips will be organized by the local organizing committee.
Free airport drops from the designated conference venues will be arranged on 17 and 18 February, if your departure details are made available to the Transport Desk.
