Panaji: The Goa tourism industry has welcomed the central government's decision to relax tourist visa norms.
Ralph de Souza, spokesperson for the Travel and Tourism Association of Goa (TTAG), said the decision to allow multiple entry on a tourist visa and a stay in India for 180 days, spread over a year, was just what the doctor ordered as far as attracting repeat European tourists was concerned.
"Goa has an enviable record of over 40 percent repeat clientele, one of the highest in the world, and often visitors come two or even three times in the same season," he added.
