Promoting Tourism in Goa

Dr Anmol Ahluwalia Area Director, Goa – IHCL shares insights on Promoting Tourism

A major tourist destination in India, Goa with its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and rich Portuguese heritage. Resorts, irrespective of their category brings with them economic growth, foreign exchange earnings, cultural exchange and infrastructure development.

From generating jobs, increased tourism leads to higher spending by visitors, boosting local businesses and government revenue. Tourists get a glimpse of Goan culture, cuisine, and traditions. This exposure can foster understanding and appreciation, leading to stronger international relations. Increased tourism often leads to investments in infrastructure like roads, airports, and sanitation. This not only benefits tourists but also improves the quality of life for Goan residents.

While one might feel that tourism bring about strain on resources like water, electricity, mobile connectivity bandwidth leading to water shortages, pollution, and environmental degradation.
We at our properties are constantly working towards finding a balance with eco friendly practises etc.

Government of Goa from time to time brings about policies and directives for such cultural and heritage preservation and helps us plan for sustainable infrastructure development to handle increased tourist influx without compromising Goa’s natural beauty.
