Goa’s participation at OTM 2025 emphasised its status as a premier global travel destination. With a commitment to eco-friendly initiatives, community-based tourism, and cultural preservation, Goa is leading the way in offering authentic experiences. One of the key highlights of Goa Tourism presence was the promotion of the Ekadasha Teertha circuit—an array of 11 historic temples that provide spiritual and cultural experiences for travellers.
Tourism in Goa in 2024
Overall, Goa is doing very well. We have launched various new activities. Last year, we had the Exposition of St. Xavier for which many tourists visited Goa. We have crossed more than one lakh tourists per year, which is record-breaking.
New Campaigns
We will soon start ‘Ekadasha Teertha,’ a tourism circuit divided into two sectors: North Goa and South Goa.
USP of Goa in comparison to other beach destinations in Goa
Goa cannot be compared to other beach destinations as Goa has its unique charm. It has been our constant endeavour to promote Goa in the best possible ways to attract more tourists. We may start the single window system for beach weddings through which you can apply for all the licenses in one department. Goa is the only state in India giving all the facilities to all tourists across all age groups. We don’t have snow and desert, but apart from that Goa is a great 365-day destination.
Weddings and MICE
With the help of hoteliers, many different packages and discounts are being offered during the off-season to attract the MICE segment. The single window system which we are trying to start will make it hassle-free to host weddings in Goa.
