Gemtrack Travel | Your guide to the slow & sustainable ways of Goa

Over the past few months, we at Goa.me have been actively seeking inputs from local businesses and individuals as to how we can be a more helpful & inclusive resource within the community. Now in many of these conversations, there was one thing that was repetitively mentioned to us:

Gemtrack

Whether it was the owner of an art cafe & guesthouse, the team at our go to hostel or favourite restaurant, they all kept referring to this so called company. They informed us of the work this group was doing to document and promote the consciously minded businesses and initiatives across Goa and told us we'd better look them up.

So that's what we did, and boy aren't we grateful...

"Gemtrack is a team of passionate conscious travellers who are on a mission of making slow & sustainable travel accessible to travellers around the world.

They've made a handpicked selection of the most unique travel gems in Bali, Lombok, Goa & Sri Lanka that focus on growing in harmony with the local community and the environment.
