Vikram Lalvani, CEO of Sterling Holiday Resorts, commented, "We are thrilled to unveil Sterling Karwar in a new avatar and present the resort in its full potential for the discerning traveller. Karwar as a destination has lots to offer for our guests and its far more pristine compared to Goa. As a leading brand in the region, we are looking forward to making Karwar a more experiential getaway. Also, with a Sterling resort In Varca Goa, it's a perfect circuit or can be an enroute stopover for people driving into Goa. The resort can host multiple events, pre/post wedding ceremonies, thematic offsites, and leisure getaways."
