Goa is a premium holiday destination in India, and attracts approximately three million tourists annually, including both domestic and foreign tourists. The city in general has also maintained a steady growth in terms of occupancy and it is a sought-after MICE spot in spite of emergence of new destinations such as Kochi, Jaipur or already popular destinations in Telangana.
Goa holds the distinction of being the only market in the country that has witnessed a continuous increase in RevPAR over the last few years, exhibiting a healthy year-on-year growth. While the overall demand and supply dynamics remained in line with historical trends, what was noticeable was the change in nature of demand and its segmentation. Goa has now become a yearround destination rather than seasonal. This has boosted revenues and positively impacted profitability of hotel chains.
Other factors such as new airport in Mopa will facilitate better direct connectivity ensuring increase in domestic and international travellers. Innovative initiatives undertaken by Goa Tourism such as Amphibian Tours (Duck Tours), Hop-on Hop-off bus, Heritage Boat Cruise, Adventure Water Park, Moonlight Kayaking and similar looks promising, making Goa the poster-child of Indian tourism.
