Goa's tourism minister Rohan Khaunte is working to reshape the state's tourist image away from its party-centric reputation to attract more responsible visitors. The new focus includes initiatives in sports, with international tournaments, spirituality through heritage excursions, and technology by appealing to digital nomads. Khaunte emphasized the importance of supporting local economy and infrastructure improvements to cater to freelancers. The objective is to create a sustainable and diverse tourism model that benefits the entire region of Goa while maintaining its cultural heritage.
"We need good tourists coming in who are responsible enough. We want them to come to Goa, enjoy, make some memories, but not create ruckus in the state."
"We are slowly creating more excursions around our heritage and culture. We have taken a circuit of 11 temples across Goa having a history of more than a 100 years as part of our spiritual tourism initiatives."
