Abstract

Tourism as an economic activity in Goa hardly existed before the 1960s. There were limited tourist facilities, either in the form of accommodation or other amenities. After its independence, the government initiated a programme for rapid expansion of accommodation facilities and related tourist services, and beach tourism was adopted as a key sector for Goa's development. As a result, Goa became a major international tourist destination. The tourism industry has contributed significantly to the economic development of the territory, but also to the transformation of Goa's coastal areas. This chapter discusses the development of Goa as a tourist destination, examining the economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts of such tourism development.
