Overview
Goa
is best known as a tourist paradise, both in India and abroad. Lavishly gifted by nature for its
scenic beauty, virgin beaches girdling its 105-km long
palm-fringed coast interspersed with enchanting coves,
bays and estuaries, paddy fields, shady coconut, cashew
and mango groves dotted with tiny picturesque villages,
temples and churches renowned for worship and pilgrims,
forts and monuments and above all, friendly and hospitable
people, Goa presents an ideal tourism profile.
Tourism
is so prominent that the number of tourists almost equals
the number of state population.
