Goa’s international strategy is shifting from volume to value

Goa’s latest tourism strategy is increasingly focused on diversifying source markets and products, with the state looking beyond the conventional beach holiday towards wellness, MICE, heritage, adventure, gastronomy, nautical tourism, spiritual travel and workations. The state’s tourism administration is also pursuing stronger international air connectivity.

The significance for trade is clear: Goa wants higher-value, experience-driven travellers, rather than simply chasing arrival numbers.

B2B takeaway

DMCs and wholesalers selling Goa have a wider product story to tell—and a much better opportunity to build themed itineraries.
