Goa Tourism Welcomes Travellers With Open Arms, Lifts Ban On Tourist Visas

| Updated: October 13, 2021 12:01

The central government decided to allow foreigners to arrive in Goa largely due to our requests – said the president of the Travel and Tourism Association of Goa (TTAG), Nilesh Shah.

He further added that Goa makes up 92% of the charter flight arrivals in the country and the announcement ahead of the season would allow them to plan in advance.

Goa’s tourism industry thanking the Union government for heeding their demand for an early relaxation has welcomed the decision and lifted the ban on tourist visas. The state ministry said that the first charter flights with tourists will be arriving by mid-November providing relief to Goa’s tourism-related businesses.

Most small and medium-scale hotels have remained shut since March 2020 when the lockdown was introduced. The TTAG has been constantly seeking the restart of foreign tourist arrivals as it is the bread and butter of these hotels. The decision was greeted with a cheer by the Goa tourism industry as it would benefit every tourism stakeholder as per TTAG’s Shah.

While tourists from within the country flocked to Goa in hundreds during 2020, the foreign tourists’ absence was as plain as a pikestaff. The TTAG sought after the reopening of the sector in the same year too; no sooner did cases begin to abate towards the end of October.
