Waves of excitement ripple through Goa as the majestic Dudhsagar waterfalls reopen, and this time, booking a jeep safari is just a click away! After a monsoon hiatus, the roar of the falls and the lush greenery is ready to enchant visitors once again. The Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) is not just unlocking the gates to this natural spectacle but also bringing the booking experience right to your fingertips.

"The falls are calling, and you must go," someone wise probably said. There's something magical about the monsoons – they transform the Dudhsagar waterfalls into a scene right out of a fairy tale. But when the rains pour down, the falls take a break from the public eye, conserving their splendor. Now, as the monsoons bid adieu, Dudhsagar is back in the limelight, wearing its lush green attire and flaunting its cascading beauty.

Booking a journey to this paradise is now as breezy as the Goan air. GTDC has appointed an agency to sprinkle some digital magic, making the entire booking process a cakewalk. GTDC Chairman Ganesh Gaonkar is all praise and hope, urging local cooperation in making this digital stride a success. It's not just about making bookings easier but enhancing the entire tourist and driver experience. It's a win-win, or as we like to say, a 'water-win'!

But wait, there's more! The Goa Forest Development Corporation (GFDC) is stepping up its game, monitoring all trails and treks to ensure that your journey is as safe as it is mesmerizing. Remember, when nature calls (not that call!), GTDC and GFDC are ensuring it's an invite to a safe and enthralling experience.

Now, to the heart of the matter – the jeep safaris. These rides, weaving through the verdant forests, are your golden ticket to the front row seat of the Dudhsagar spectacle. Restrictions? Yes, but only to ensure that the wildlife can also enjoy their natural habitat without too many human interruptions. It’s about balancing the ecstasy of tourism with the serenity of nature.

In the end, it’s a dance between nature and tourism, one that’s orchestrated with care, respect, and a sprinkle of digital ease. As the jeep wheels churn and the waterfalls cascade, every visitor is a witness to a spectacle where nature and technology unite, promising an experience that's both wild and welcoming.

So, pack those bags, boot up your devices, and get ready to book a ticket to nature's own theatre, where the waterfalls play the music, the forests set the stage, and every visitor is a cherished guest. Welcome back to Dudhsagar - where nature is uncaged, and your experience, unforgettable!

Saudia, the national carrier of Saudi Arabia, has reached a brand valuation milestone of $1.1 billion, marking an impressive 34% year-on-year growth, as revealed in the 2025 airline brand rankings by Brand Finance. This remarkable surge underscores the airline's strategic evolution and rising stature in global aviation.

Saudia now ranks 32nd globally in brand value among airlines, a notable leap since its debut in the Top 50 list in 2021 with a valuation of $506 million. In just four years, the brand has more than doubled in value, thanks to focused efforts in fleet enhancement, guest experience, and innovative initiatives.

The airline’s recent order of 105 Airbus aircraft highlighted its commitment to fleet modernisation and capacity expansion. At home, Saudia grabbed attention with BLVD Runway, a creative aviation-meets-entertainment concept aimed at engaging domestic travellers.

Globally, Skytrax honoured Saudia as the 'World’s Most Improved Airline' in 2024, a nod to its operational excellence and growing global presence. The airline has also maintained strong On-Time Performance (OTP) and received accolades for enhancing passenger experiences.

Commenting on this achievement, Khaled Tash, Chief Marketing Officer, Saudia Group, said:

“Achieving a brand value of $1 billion is a testament to our strategic initiatives and operational excellence, as well as the unwavering trust and loyalty of our guests. At Saudia, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in aviation, ensuring that every journey with us is a step towards excellence.”

With this milestone, Saudia continues to strengthen its global positioning and reaffirm its role as a key player in the Kingdom’s ambitious aviation growth story.
