Goa recorded a record 1.08 crore tourist arrivals in 2025, driven by a surge in domestic visitors. While total numbers surpassed previous highs, foreign tourist arrivals, numbering over 5 lakh, have not yet reached pre-pandemic levels, particularly concerning charter flights. The state government emphasizes its 'Regenerative Tourism' vision, aiming for long-term community and environmental benefits. This marks a significant recovery post-COVID-19, with domestic travel forming the backbone of the tourism economy.
