GOA TO LAUNCH APP-BASED CAB SERVICE <br />
SKI DUBAI’S SUCCESS WITH BREEDING<br />
PENGUINS <br />
If all goes well, the Goa Tourism Development Corporation<br />
(GTDC) will launch its taxi app GoaMiles this month. Around<br />
2,800 licensed taxi drivers in Goa have shown an interest<br />
in using the app and more are expected to follow suit. The<br />
free app will be available for download on both, Android and<br />
iOS platforms. The launch of the app will be beneficial for all<br />
concerned. Tourists will be able to directly contact licensed taxi<br />
drivers. They will also benefit with the taxi fare payment now<br />
becoming easy and secure. Even locals will access the app for<br />
their daily commute. Finally, GoaMiles will help drivers to<br />
acquire more customers by operating and partnering with<br />
existing taxi companies.<br />
Majid Al Futtaim, the leading shopping mall, retail and<br />
leisure pioneer across the Middle East and North Africa,<br />
is celebrating more than six years of Snow Penguins at<br />
Ski Dubai. The feathery family of 10 King and 10 Gentoo<br />
Penguins arrived at their new, snow-tacular home in<br />
2012 and since then have proved extremely popular with<br />
residents and tourists alike. Now with a colony of 28<br />
penguins, the habitat highlights how Ski Dubai’s Snow<br />
Penguin Breeding Programme has gone from strength<br />
to strength. Ski Dubai’s Snow Penguin Programme is<br />
supported by the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute in<br />
the United States.<br />
