On nocturnal outing in the beach state, Gupta said nightlife in Goa is best compared to any other hip location in the country.
"You can walk around on beach with a bottle of beer in hand. This liberty you cannot enjoy elsewhere in country," he said.
The organisers, however, concede that nightlife in India is lacklustre compared to international tourism destinations.
Bollywood celebrities, including actors Tapsee Pannu, Sameer Kochhar, Grand Masti-fame Kainat Arora, British-Pakistani actress Sashaa Aagha, Brazilian actress Bruna Abdullah, Romanian model Andreea Balan, will be around 200 delegates participating in the event.
