The year 2020 saw tourist inflows nosedive due to the Covid-19
pandemic and cannot be relied on for studying tourist inflowtrends.
During the period 1985 to 1991 (9 per cent), foreign tourists formed approximately 12 per
cent of the mix of arrivals. However, the period between 1995 and 2000 saw the share of
foreign tourists increase to 20 per cent, reaching a high of 22 per cent in 1997. The period
beginning 2001 has seen a steady decline in foreign tourists visiting Goa, from 19 per cent
to 11 per cent in 2016, as well as 2017. It has improved by 1 per cent, i.e. 12 per cent in
2018, and the same has continued in 2019. The decline in numbers is attributed to a spurt
in the number of domestic tourists, as the graphic below displays.
The year 2016 and 2017 saw the foreign tourist arrivals grow at a rate of 26 per cent and
25 per cent, respectively. Between 2010 and 2019, the arrival numbers of foreign tourists
have doubled.

Holiday home options are numerous and with the advent of players
like Air BNB and OYO, even beds within homes are being let out now,
which are difficult to estimate. It is estimated that the Goa market has
approximately 3,200 holiday home properties with approximately
20,500 keys.
The supply of hotels in Goa has increased at 10 per cent CAGR in the
past 10 years. The increase in room supply is half of the increase in the
inflow of tourists in Goa over the past 10 years.

Goa has three hotels with more than 250 keys. There are just 45 hotels with more than 100
keys. The limited inventory is not conducive for large conventions that need a higher
availability of rooms. The lack of larger size hotels severely limits the capacity of the region
to host large conferences and events.
Goa had 2,768 keys in the classified hotel category (3,4 & 5 star) during 2007–2008 and
added 4,060 keys by the end of 2018–2019 at a CAGR of 8 per cent. The more than
doubling of the inventory had no perceptible impact on occupancy as the demand kept an
even pace with supply and also grew at a CAGR of 8 per cent.
Where the demand was for 1,998 room nights per day, it has now grown to 4,903 room
nights per day in 2018–2019. Goa is a unique market, where its demand is elastic, and only
limited by the availability of rooms and appropriate transportation to reach the desired
destination. In spite of all this, an important segment of travel, the business segment, is
nearly missing.
The market has the ability to absorb more supply and that can be induced through a large
convention centre with appropriate support infrastructure.
The entire tourism sector contributes approximately 2.2 per cent to the
gross domestic product (GDP). The convention tourism business, in turn,
contributes 5–7 per cent of the tourism revenues. Although this figure of
5–7 per cent is at par with other convention destinations, in volume terms,
it is nominal given the potential of the convention tourism industry in
India. Number of meetings (2018)

The large events and conventions organised by pharmaceutical companies like doctors’
conferences, annual industry association conventions, trade fairs and expos are generally
giving Goa a miss. Conservatively, the above demand currently exists and lack of venues is
not even raising enquiries in the Goa market.
It is the latent demand not being catered to in Goa owing to lack of large venues bundled
with rooms. Needless to say, a new convention centre, once operational, will penetrate
the existing demand and achieve its fair market share.
Assuming a fare share of 25 per cent for large conventions and 15 per cent for smaller
conferences with an average event duration of three days (including pre and post event
time), a stabilised demand of 655 day bookings is estimated.
Not every event would occupy 100 per cent of the facility. Assuming an average 33 per
cent of the space occupancy on an average event day, a stabilised occupancy of 55 per
cent can be achieved by the convention centre. The space required per delegate is approx
3.27 sq m of convention hall plus almost equal amount of supporting infrastructure.
Hotel room demand
The convention centre at its full capacity utilisation will generate demand for
approximately 3,000 hotel rooms.
The average demand at 55 per cent occupancy shall be for approximately 1,650 rooms.
For the convention centre to function without any constraints, it should have a captive
supply of at least 80 per cent of average room demand.
Also, the captive supply along with the neighbouring room inventory should be capable of
catering to the peak demand.
Taking the above into consideration, the convention centre complex shall require an
additional 1,300 rooms to be constructed.
Downstream Facilities
Permissible facilities: Hotel (various categories), integrated
entertainment and shopping Centre/Complex, retail outlets, food
courts, pubs, bowling alleys, restaurants, fast food outlets, health
spas/ centers, etc.
FSI available for development of downstream facilities: ~2 mn sq ft.
