PANAJI: Goa Hospitality Industry Despite the tourism and coastal casinos have been monopoized in recent years, Goa 2020 tourism policy aims to change the perception by promoting ecotourism, cultural and inheritance tourism.
This policy talks about encouraging tourists to visit villages and explore traditional Goan houses.
The formed Goa Tourism Council that is formed will appoint a conducive village for development as a “tourism village”.
The standard applicable to receiving the appointment of tourism villages will be defined so that the village can compete for the same transparently.
Moving in that direction, the Goa government recently told the “Tourist Village Development Scheme” where the financial support of Rs 50 Lakh will be given to the village every year.
This scheme aims to promote rural life, art and culture and inheritance.
While the government has talked about showing off the interior of the country for many years, after the tourism policy was told a year ago, forming this scheme was the first real step in that direction.
Goa has a rich cultural heritage, and post-diwali most villages have ballras, but except for a few large parties and parties, other cultural celebrations from the state have not been exhibited outside.
However, some foreign tourists who live in Pernem Taluka attended Zatras and party.
The policy also talks about practices that are ecologically sustainable and environmentally friendly in the development of natural-based tourism.
Developing high-quality facilities in protected areas to increase the number and stay at the duration of high-end visitors is also something that finds the mention in the policy.
The main aspect of the tourism policy will see light a day after the tourism council is formed.
The board composition was resolved some time ago, but the command appointed the board was awaited.
