This move also reflects an important shift in Goa’s tourism strategy. For too long, the state has depended heavily on coastal tourism. While temples in Ponda, spice plantations, waterfalls, and hinterland villages have been marketed sporadically, they have never commanded the kind of footfall that the beaches do.…
