Tourists and locals read and discuss novels while gently floating.

Goa has launched Floating Book Clubs, where participants read and exchange ideas while seated in floating platforms on calm lagoons. According to Hindustan Times, facilitators provide waterproof reading materials, discussion prompts, and gentle supervision to ensure safety.

Participants report relaxation, creativity, and community connection. Critics raise concerns about water hazards, but organizers emphasize tranquility, engagement, and literary enrichment. Future plans include thematic readings, author appearances, and floating poetry slams to enhance cultural tourism.
