Futuristic approach - Why to invest in South Goa ?
Tourism (MARKET STRATEGY) leading to Infrastructural changes and development
Geographical markets’ strategy
Very Short Term |
Short Term | Medium Term |
Keep addressing domestic market & current nationalities but with a different proactive marketing approach Higher-spending segments within the coastal tourism product with a better and more diversified offer, including culture and nature tourism Tap into the markets for short breaks and holidays with new direct flights from the Middle East. |
Develop the cultural tourism offer of Goa to attract these nationalities. This would be the main motivation to visit India - and Goa as an extension Though most tourists would still stay on the coast, culture and nature-based tourism would be a main travel motivation for some tourists and complementary products for others. |
Depending on identified new opportunities, further diversify markets such as Australia, through a multi-product destination, where cultural tourism would play a major differentiation role. |
