1. Preface

Goa is often referred to as the ‘Pearl of the

Orient’ and the ‘Beach Capital of India. Its

natural beauty, unique heritage and a

delectable mix of cultures, along with friendly

and hospitable people, make it perhaps the

most attractive tourist destination in India.

Tourism is the back bone of Goan economy,

with 40% of the population directly or

indirectly dependent on it. The sector has

shown strong growth with total tourist

arrivals increasing from 2.3 million in 2005 to

7.8 million in 2017, an annual growth of nearly

11%.

The tourist mix is dominated by domestic

tourists that comprise nearly 89% of total

tourist arrivals. The peak season of October

to December sees nearly half of the annual

tourist arrivals, putting immense stress on

Goa’s ecology, infrastructure and tourism

assets.

The Government of Goa has developed the

Goa Tourism Master Plan, 2016 (‘GTMP 2016’)

to harness the full potential of its tourism

sector and to address existing challenges in

a systematic manner. The Goa Tourism Policy

2019 (‘GTP 2019’, ‘the Policy’) provides the

enabling framework for implementation of the

GTMP 2016.

The Policy has been developed in a

collaborative manner over a period of two

years, incorporating the feedback and advice

from various stake holders in Goa.

2. Vision, Cornerstone Principles and

Objectives

2.1. Vision.— “Make Goa the most

preferred destination around the year for

high-spending tourists in India by 2024,

and a world-class international tourism

destination by 2030”

2.2. Cornerstone Principles.— The Policy

has been prepared considering the

cornerstone principles as below. These

encapsulate the broad objectives of the

Government of Goa, industry and other

stakeholders who formed an integral part

of the consultative process. The corner-

stone principles are:

(a) Sustainability.— Develop and

promote tourism infrastructure in an

environmentally

and

ecologically

sustainable manner through appropriate

plans, programs and policies.

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES I No. 33

12TH NOVEMBER, 2020

1424

(b) Uniquely Goan.— Showcase the

unique historic, ethnic, natural, cultural

locations and attractions of Goa to

provide a wholesome and memorable

experience for tourists.

(c) Safety.— Make Goa one of the

safest tourist destinations as per world-

class standards.

(d) Ease of mobility.— Provide fast,

reliable, affordable and comfortable

travel, transport and support services

that ensure a seamless experience for

tourists travelling in and out of Goa.

(e)

Global

visibility.—

Create

awareness about Goa as a global tourist

destination through innovative, focused

and sustained marketing, promotion and

communication initiatives in various

target markets.

(f) Authenticity.— Offer tourists an

opportunity to experience the authentic

Goan heritage and lifestyle, represented

by its rich cultural, ethnic and social

diversity.

(g) Diversity.— Redevelop and rebrand

Goa as a diversified tourism destination

that offers a combination of culture,

ecotourism, heritage, nature, coastal and

entertainment based attractions for

domestic and international tourists.

2.3. Objectives.— This Policy aims to set

out the governance, institutional and

regulatory frame work that would support

implementation of GTMP 2016 over the

next 25 years. The objectives of the Policy

are as follows:

(a) Help attract a healthy mix of domestic

and international tourists to Goa on a

sustainable basis.

(b) Create a more environmentally and

socially sustainable tourism destination,

where territorial development is more

balanced between the coast and the

hinterland; employment opportunities are

enhanced for local Goans and growth

opportunities are created for Small,

Medium & Micro Enterprises.

(c) Augment the capacity and quality of

infrastructure

facilities

including

accommodation, connectivity, power,

water, wastewater treatment and other

support infrastructure services.

(d)

Give

tourists

a

world-class

experience characterized by distinct Goan

hospitality, identity, diversity and local

heritage.

(e) Incorporate modern technology,

where pertinent in the tourism value chain

to enhance quality of the tourism product,

through research and efficient utilization

of statistics.
