The government in Goa is set to revive the convention centre project at Dona Paula, aiming to boost tourism and business opportunities in the region. The project, which had been stalled for several years, is now being fast-tracked to completion. Once finished, the convention centre is expected to attract a significant number of national and international events, conferences, and exhibitions, putting Goa on the map as a premier destination for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism. The move is part of the government’s efforts to diversify the state’s tourism offerings beyond its traditional beach destinations. By investing in infrastructure that supports business and corporate events, the government hopes to attract high-spending visitors who will contribute to the local economy. The convention centre project at Dona Paula is also expected to create job opportunities for local residents and boost ancillary services in the area. With its picturesque location overlooking the Arabian Sea, the convention centre is poised to become a sought-after venue for both domestic and international events. The revival of this project signals the government’s commitment to promoting Goa as a year-round destination for tourism and business activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
