Goa had a fantastic year for tourism in 2025! The state welcomed a record 1.08 crore (10.8 million) tourists. This includes over 5 lakh (5,00,000) visitors from other countries. This is more than Goa has seen in previous years. Focus on Good Tourism The Goa government wants to make sure tourism is good for everyone. They want to attract tourists who respect the environment and help the local economy. This is part of their plan for “Regenerative Tourism,” which means tourism that benefits the community, the environment, and the economy for a long time.
