Goa Tourism



Goa is a tourist destination where people flock to from all across the globe. The basic image that most people get of Goa is not the same as what they get about any other state in India. Today Goa invokes the image of stretches of beaches with prancing holiday-hoppers. The boom of Goa tourism caught up from the Hippy era onwards.

In the 60’s the virgin beaches and beckoning palms of Goa allured the ecstasy and cheap dope seeking Hippies to its coast. They carried back tales of this ‘new-found land’s’ unspoilt beauty. From then on began Goa’s romance with the holiday-hoppers.

The first full fledged tourism in Goa began with the arrival of Chartered flights to Goa. It ushered a new breed of tourists – the moneyed class who were not looking for either cheap dope or ecstasy. They came to Goa expecting to holiday in world-class standards. Goa however, was ill-equipped. But the fever had caught on. All of a sudden Goa saw a boom in real-estate with travel and hotel companies soliciting for land. The Government obliged because it was a development to the state economy. So hotels and other amenities flourished to meet the demands of the influx of tourists.

Moreover, Goa as a tourist destination goes beyond its beaches. Tourism in Goa thrives due to the cultural aspect of the state as well. Goa has had such a chequered past that its myriad aspects keep visitors coming back for more. Its Gothic churches, ruined and flourishing temples, pristine beaches, cultural festivals and not to forget its unique and mouth-watering cuisine, all make tourism in Goa a thriving industry. If you are lucky enough then even during the peak season you might be able to fetch a discount vacation package for goa.
