Goa, 15th Dec. 2015: The
state of Goa, India is famous for its beaches and places of worship, and
tourism is its primary industry. Tourism is generally focused on the coastal
areas of Goa, with decreased tourist activity inland. NFTC will prepare a
report on Goa Tourism.
Foreign tourists, mostly from Europe, arrive
in Goa in winter whilst the summer and monsoon seasons see a large number of
Indian tourists. Goa handled 2.30% of all foreign tourist arrivals in the
country informed Sandeep Marwah Managing Director of NFTC-National Federation
of Tourism And Transport Cooperatives of India Limited at the meeting at Grand
Hyatt during his visit to Goa.
Influenced by over 450 years of Portuguese
rule and Latin culture, Goa presents a somewhat different representation of the
country to foreign visitors. Major tourist attractions include: Bom
Jesus Basilica Fort Aguada, a wax museum on Indian culture and a heritage
museum. UNESCO has declared the Churches and Convents of Goa a World Heritage
Site.
