This move is in line with the Goa government's desire to position the state as a tourism hotspot beyond its renowned beaches, as per State Tourism Secretary Sanjeev Ahuja.

He added that the government aims to attract more European tourists and high-spending travellers from various destinations. In short, the state government wants to offer more reasons to the travellers to visit Goa more often.

Their approach is to introduce co-working spaces on the beaches, and also to grant nomad visas to individuals who can work while enjoying the coastal ambiance.
According to the official, the development of facilities on Morjim and Ashwem beaches is underway and will be completed soon. The state government has initiated the process of obtaining nomad visas for such visitors, having communicated with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the External Affairs Ministry. The official anticipates a positive outcome, with discussions ongoing and potential progress post the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Ahuja elaborated on the concept of regenerative tourism, stressing the need to involve the local communities, culture, cuisine, festivals, and even farmers in the tourism spectrum. He highlighted lesser-known attractions, such as Goa's expansive temples and churches, which will be integrated into this innovative approach. An agreement has already been inked with Temple Connect, an organisation dedicated to revitalising and developing the temple ecosystem
