The Goa government will come up with a tourism policy for the coming
seasons soon, after taking stakeholders into confidence, Chief Minister
Pramod Sawant said on Tuesday.
Sawant also admitted to a dip in
tourist arrivals for the ongoing seasons, adding that the numbers would
go up only from collective efforts from all stakeholders involved.
"We
have to finalise tourist policy for coming seasons. We will consult all
stakeholders, we will take their ideas... We will take all people
onboard and finalise new policy soon which will help in coming seasons,"
Sawant said at a function in Panaji to mark the launch of a travel
magazine.
Sawant also said, that after the mining industry --
which has been banned since 2018 -- the tourism industry is key to
generating revenue for the state exchequer.
Sawant also conceded to a drop in tourism arrivals this season.
"Now
we can say that for this tourist season, there is a slowdown in
tourists. If all stakeholders come together and help, more and more
tourists will come," Sawant said.
Goa is a well known beach tourism destination and last year the coastal state attracted seven million tourists.
