Goa reopens to tourists from today; rules that travellers must know Tourists’favourite beach getaway, Goa has reopened to tourists from today after the COVID-19 lockdown. The picturesque state is all set to welcome tourists from within the country. This has come as big news for the tourism industry in the state, one of the major revenue-generating industries as well. 250 hotels have also been permitted to resume operations to aid the tourists. The development was reported by Goa’s Tourism Minister Manohar Ajgaonkar, "We have decided to allow domestic travellers to enter Goa from July 2 onwards provided they comply with certain norms.” Reportedly, the decision was made in a cabinet meeting, presided by Goa CM Pramod Sawant. What is important to note here is that anyone intending to make a trip to Goa needs to adhere to a set of rules and regulations, or they won’t be allowed to enter the state. Here is a breakdown of what one needs to know before planning a visit to Goa: Carry a negative COVID-19 certificate that has been conducted over the past 48 hours. Else, travellers will have to get tested in Goa for the same. Anyone testing positive for Coronavirus would either have to go back or stay in quarantine in Goa until their test result is declared. Travellers need to pre-book their stay at a hotel that has been approved to operate by the tourism department. Travellers with bookings in a non-approved hotel or homestay will not be allowed, and the same would be deemed illegal. #calangutebeach #basilicabomjesus #agodafort #bagabeach #anjunabeach @goatourism @travelandleisureindia @mynamealii @klookindia #traveler_lenses #exploreworld #tour #cafe #visit #bay #beauty #nature #love #snow #trekking #excursion #beach #hill #desert (at Goa Anjana Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCLKkeQhkWw/?igshid=7sbenatu9edh
