It is spread over 3,700 square kilometres, with an approximate population of 1.8 million.
Goa is a place which attracts almost 2.5 million visitors every year. Most of them are the foreigners. The reason behind such a large count of visitors is the sandy beaches, but not only this, it also includes pilgrims visiting Catholic and Hindu shines, some people used to go to Goa for medical treatment, and some of them used to prefer to attend conferences and seminars.

Despite having a lot, from wines to cashew nuts, enchanting local music to alternative books and handicrafts, still Goa’s handicraft is always under-rated, under-appreciated, even while being reasonably priced. Foreign tourists increasingly go “shopping” for medical services. There are a number of outlets that offer a form of ‘health tourism’.
