Goa’s administration is taking steps to transform the state into a premier destination for weddings and events. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has introduced a single-window clearance system for weddings and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) events. This initiative will streamline permissions, with the Tourism Department overseeing approvals for beach weddings, reducing bureaucratic hurdles. The policy aims to promote scenic venues while balancing ecological preservation and tourist satisfaction.

To tackle rising complaints about taxi services, the government is implementing stricter regulations. A proposed taxi action committee, led by the police, will monitor unruly behavior, ensure fare transparency, and support app-based services. Challenges posed by local taxi unions, such as blocking alternative transport, are being addressed to improve accessibility and affordability for tourists.

In addition to weddings, the state is focusing on promoting cultural tourism through global campaigns and foreign media outreach. Initiatives like the Ekadasha Teerth Circuit and familiarisation tours are being developed to highlight Goa’s cultural and historical richness, attracting a diverse range of visitors.

These measures aim to boost tourism revenue, enhance the state’s global appeal, and ensure a better experience for travelers while preserving Goa’s natural and cultural identity.
