Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte has recently taken a significant step in boosting Goa’s tourism by inaugurating development works at Colva Beach under the Swadesh Darshan 2.0 scheme. This initiative, supported by the Ministry of Tourism, focuses on enhancing the infrastructure and visitor experience at key tourist destinations. Khaunte emphasized the need for sustainable tourism, highlighting Colva’s potential as a model beach, equipped with modern facilities and eco-friendly initiatives.

Swadesh Darshan 2.0 aims to promote theme-based tourism across India, and Goa is a prime beneficiary with projects aimed at improving both coastal and hinterland tourism. The initiative includes the enhancement of facilities for tourists at Colva Beach while preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the area. Plans also include developing hinterland tourism circuits in the state to attract a broader range of visitors interested in adventure, culture, and eco-tourism
