The tourism department in Goa has recently announced a new policy allowing shacks to be sublet to Goans for the remainder of the season. This decision comes as a relief to many local businesses and individuals who have been struggling due to the impact of the pandemic on tourism. The move is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the economy in the state, as well as offer employment opportunities to Goans during the peak tourist season. With this new development, Goans can now take advantage of the opportunity to operate shacks along the beaches and cater to tourists for the rest of the season. This initiative is likely to encourage more local participation in the tourism sector and help in the revival of the industry post-pandemic. The decision to allow subletting of shacks to Goans showcases a proactive approach by the tourism department to support local businesses and promote tourism in the region. It is a step in the right direction towards ensuring sustainable growth and development of the tourism sector in Goa. As the season progresses, it is hoped that this new policy will bring about positive changes and benefit both the local community and the tourism industry as a whole.
