Promote Goa as monsoon tourism destination in a big way

It must be said that seasonal changes in weather influence the number of foreign tourist arrivals in India. Consequently, significant reductions in visitor numbers are observed during the monsoon season. One of the most happening destinations in the world, Goa is famous for its sunny beaches. Since tourism related activity is the prime revenue earner for the state, it seems necessary for the government to make all efforts to promote Goa as a 365-day tourist destination. This is why promoting the State as a monsoon tourism destination assumes significance.

Goa has a lot to offer to the visitors during the monsoon season. The springs and waterfalls are in full force, there is greenery everywhere, the beaches are clean and deserted, and river cruises become even more attractive. Plus, there are attractive off-season discounts as well. Like every other coastal region, the monsoon in Goa brings with it drizzling to heavy rain and thundershowers.

The Dudhsagar waterfall becomes all the more beautiful during the monsoon, when it literally swells up. However swimming in the water is prohibited. The iconic waterfalls are surrounded by dense greenery, which makes for a good trekking trip. This is also the best time to visit the spice plantation.
