The Goa tourism department has decided to host international rock shows by high profile artistes like Shakira or Bryan Adams to attract more tourists to the beach destination from this year onwards as per a PTI report.
State Tourism Minister Nilkant Halarnkar in a reply tabled on the floor of the House has listed international rock shows as one of the strategy to woo visitors here. He said these rocks shows would be part of annual tourism calendar planned by the department. The minister told the Assembly yesterday that the department intends to also start the International Sea Food Festival at Miramar, which was stopped years ago.
According to him, other activities on the annual calendar will include Heritage festivals, International Kite Festival, Beach cricket and volleyball and Goa Sand Art Festival. The minister also said the state has decided to formulate a high power task force to decide on the way ahead for the tourism sector in the state.
