Study on Tourism of Goa by NFTC
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.
