PANAJI: In an exclusive interview with PTI, Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte revealed that Goa’s recent tourist season achieved a landmark footfall of one crore visitors, dispelling concerns about declining numbers in the coastal state.
Khaunte highlighted a significant 150% rise in international tourists compared to pre-COVID-19 levels but acknowledged growing competition from other states and international destinations.
The official tourist season in Goa concludes in June, coinciding with the monsoon, yet the state maintains a robust 80% hotel occupancy rate during this period. The minister emphasized Goa’s appeal beyond its beaches, contributing to the rural economy.
