Goa’s tourism industry is heavily reliant on its many beaches. To top the beautiful beaches, there is stunning colonial architecture, forested hills, beach-side activities, the feni drink, and its people. Goa attracts eclectic tourists from across the globe with famous artists, musicians, filmmakers, and the who’s who of the glamour world frequenting it. During the day, sun beds and hammocks are available at the beaches, hotels and resorts for tourists to relax in. Squeezed between the seas and forested hills, Goa is a beautiful beach strip tasseled with coconut trees, palms and fresh seafood. Also known as ‘Rome of the East’ and ‘Pearl of the Orient’, Goa was a Portuguese colony until 1961. Goa is best explored during the winters when the weather is good for sightseeing and there is revelry in the air. Goa has a blend of Indian, Konkan and Portuguese culture so you will see a multi-hued and distinctive lifestyle here.
