Tide of tourists springs hope of profitable season in Goa

The Russians have come, the Poles will be here soon, and in about a fortnight or so, the English are expected to land, and the Goa Tourism wheel of 2024-2025 will be spinning fast.

“We will still be hosting weddings, but there has been a shift in accommodating tourists, with many travel agencies able to lure foreign tourists back,” says Agni, a travel associate with a luxury resort.

“Unlike, last year, more rooms have been made available, and this change will percolate down to the locals,” he informs.

The tourists who have been visiting Vagator and Anjuna for the past few years have landed, and locals in the business of renting out rooms have started getting rid of the cobwebs.

“My guest, who has been coming for years, has arrived and she will be here for a few months. In another few days, another old guest is expected. My rooms are all full,” says a beaming Anita as she sweeps her compound.

As October comes to an end, November is the next platform that opens the season to a different colour – a mix of white, brown and black that brings a happy homogeneity.

“We are expecting a big rush of Indians during the Diwali holidays and also a number of foreigners. Occupancy is expected to be good and flight tickets have already soared,” admits travel agent Franco.

The beaches, in the meanwhile are seeing a tide of tourists from India and abroad. Though the rush is not intense in the morning, the sunset sees a different kiss on the shores, and it is this kiss that is set to leave footprints of the new season.
