Double annual tourist arrivals within five years

On track, but not fulfilled. The promise is to double annual tourist arrivals within five years while expanding inland, medical, heritage, spiritual, adventure-sports and beach-tourism infrastructure. Counting from the government start date of 2022-03-28, the five-year window runs until 2027-03-27. Government of Goa data shows tourist arrivals rose from about 79.61 lakh in 2022-23 to 88.46 lakh in 2023-24, and official tourism department figures report 1,04,09,196 arrivals in 2024 and 1,08,02,410 arrivals in 2025. This is strong growth, but still below a rough doubling target of about 1.59 crore annual arrivals from the 2022-23 baseline. Official sources also show concrete diversification activity through Goa Beyond Beaches, hinterlands, heritage villages, spiritual circuits, riverine experiences, sports tourism, homestays and tourism infrastructure/experience expansion. Status is on_track because arrivals and related tourism-development activity are progressing, but the doubling outcome is not yet achieved.
