The Portuguese called it the `Rome of the East’… they certainly knew what they were talking about! Welcome to Goa, India’s very own sunshine state where miles of sand, with ample surf and sun to go along, captivate you from the time your aircraft begins its descent to Dabolim international airport.

Known for its idyllic ambiance, rustic innocence and some of Nature’s most beautiful gifts, this state boasts of a culture that is unique to India. Four-and-a-half centuries of Portuguese rule have left an indelible mark on the culture and customs of the state.

They say that Goa is tourism and tourism is Goa, known for their hospitality Goans have opened their hearts and homes to the world. This is probably why millions of tourists from all over the world head for Goa all year long.
