SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

Embracing Nature, Supporting Communities, and Enhancing Your Stay

Goa, a coastal gem nestled in the western part of India, has long been celebrated for its sun-kissed beaches, vibrant nightlife, and captivating culture. However, as the influx of tourists soared, so did the environmental challenges. In response, the Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) has embarked on a journey to foster sustainable tourism, with a key focus on encouraging eco-friendly accommodations.

Eco-Friendly Accommodations: A Sustainable Haven

Eco-friendly accommodations, also known as green lodgings, are havens that prioritize minimizing their ecological footprint while providing a comfortable and immersive experience for guests. These accommodations embrace sustainable practices by utilizing renewable energy sources, conserving water, and actively reducing waste.

Why Choose Eco-Friendly Accommodations? 

1. Reducing Your Environmental Impact: Staying in an eco-friendly accommodation allows you to become a conscious traveller. These lodgings are designed to minimize water and energy consumption, curbing waste production. Your stay becomes an active contribution to the preservation of Goa's natural beauty.
