Goa, a state on India’s geographical region, could be a former Portuguese colony with a lot of history. Just of 3,700 sq. km with a population of roughly 1.8 million, the province is little by Indian standards.

It’s a singular mixture of Indian and Portuguese cultures and design that draws a calculable 2.5 million guests every year (including concerning 400,000 foreign tourists).

Since the Sixties, Goa has been attracting a gradual flow of tourists — 1st the hippies and returning expatriate Goans, then the charter tourists (starting with the Germans in 1987), pilgrims visiting Catholic and Hindu shrines, those opting to settle in province as their home, folks going for medical treatment, and a growing variety of these WHO attend seminars and conferences in province.
