tourism in goa
The state of Goa, India, is famous for its beaches and places of worship, and tourism is its
primary industry. Tourism is generally focused on the coastal areas of Goa, with decreased
tourist activity inland. Foreign tourists, mostly from Europe, arrive in Goa in winter
whilst the summer and monsoon seasons see a large number of Indian tourists. Goa handled 7%
of all foreign tourist arrivals in the country in 2011.[1][2] This relatively small state is
situated on the western coast of India, between the borders of Maharashtra and Karnataka and
is better known to the world as a former Portuguese enclave on Indian soil. Influenced by
over 450 years of Portuguese rule and Latin culture, Goa presents a somewhat different
representation of the country to foreign visitors. Major tourist attractions include: Bom
Jesus Basilica, Fort Aguada, a wax museum on Indian culture and a heritage museum. The
