Ray is a travel and hospitality expert at OneBoard, where he leverages his deep knowledge of Goa's hidden gems to enhance traveler experiences.

Ray Vaz is a native of the beautiful island of St. Estevam, and was brought up in the city of joy, Panjim. He is a well-known personality in the Industry of Tourism and Hospitality in Goa. His young years in Don Bosco's, Panjim, instilled an unsullied interest in the vibrant cultural heritage and varied ecosystems of his home state. Higher education took Ray to Bangalore, where he did his BSc in Hotel Management, laying the skill foundation that would be of great help in all his future achievements. After sharpening his skills at the JW Marriott, Mumbai, Ray's nostalgia for his coastal roots drew him back to Goa. It was here that he started his journey as an entrepreneur by setting up VKTS: Travel Solutions, a travel company catering to distinct desires of travelers in search of unique Goan experiences. This local guide's deep knowledge of the place and his love for the unseen facets of Goa—from old taverns on backroads to colorful street food scenes—is something quite perceptible in his venture, now grown as a looked-for service for those who wanted to experience Goa beyond the beaten track.

Ray's career is also marked by his tenure with Revnomix-Revenue Tech, where, as a Business Development Partner, he leads projects across Goa that increase the charm of the place as the most favored destination for travel. His profound interest in sports—basketball, cricket, and boxing—bodes well with the professional passion, pumping energy and competitiveness into his business strategies. In particular, calm and beautiful landscapes of Goa fascinate Ray: sitting by a creek amidst the choral song of birds or tasting street cart culinary delights. His knowledge furthers both the tourism sector of Goa and preserves and celebrates the cultural and natural heritage of the place, making him an invaluable asset to OneBoard.app and the broader tourism community.
