The Department of Tourism, Government of Goa, remains committed to promoting quality tourism, diversifying source markets, strengthening infrastructure, and advancing its vision of Regenerative Tourism, ensuring balanced growth that benefits local communities, preserves the environment, and enhances visitor experiences.

This signing reflects Brij’s continued focus on destinations that remain raw, aspirational, and largely undiscovered places that offer rare access to landscapes still untouched by mass tourism, while delivering understated luxury and meaningful experiences.

The Department of Tourism, Government of Goa, remains committed to enhancing international connectivity, diversifying source markets, and positioning Goa as a year-round destination through focused and strategic tourism initiatives.

These included partnerships with universities, academic institutions and incubators; talent exchange programmes between Goa and Norway; and engagement with research organisations.

Besides the smart move towards regenerative tourism, Kedar Naik, Director of Tourism, Goa shared that the domestic travellers remain the backbone of Goa’s tourism economy, and the state is strategically building new reasons for repeat visits. To further tap new international source markets, Goa is actively introducing direct flights from Russia, Poland, Kazakhstan, and the Middle East.

Goa Tourism focuses on enhancing visitor experiences through cultural, adventure, wellness, and heritage-based offerings under the “Goa Beyond Beaches” initiative.
