Goa Tourism has decided to revamp its image by adding many more products and aspects to its tourism portfolio. For a start, culture and heritage are the new focus areas in the offing. The state has also drawn up a Regional Plan up to the year 2021. According to a reliable source from the industry, Goa Tourism is working on a Regional Plan 2021 and the blue print for the same is ready and is awaiting approval. The plan has been drawn to meet target demands set by the state and to facilitate tourists with necessary infrastructure. Adding perspective from the government point of view, Elvis Gomes, Director, Goa Tourism said, “The Regional Plan 2021 is under formulation with purpose of retaining Goa’s lure for tourists and locals, while at the same time retaining and protecting nature.”

Encashing on the heritage and culture offerings, the tourism department plans to tap into the lucrative rich Indo-Portuguese culture of the state by promoting heritage home stays in the state. In this regard, Goa Tourism will shortly launch ‘Heritage House Scheme’ granting financial assistance to heritage house with an aim of preserving them and putting them to use for ‘Heritage Home Stays’. “The scheme is in its final stages of approval and the government is considering granting a sum of Rs five lakh onwards for this project. This project will kick start in the next four to five months but we cannot disclose any more information,” stated Gomes.
