Goa tourism department is planning to tie up with Nice, a picturesque city in France, to provide better facilities to tourists visiting the state capital.
The tie-up would be done in specific areas such as rapid transportation system and solid waste treatment. Both the cities will collaborate on these issues on a time-bound programme, senior officials said.
Confirming the development, Goa Tourism director Swapnil Naik said that the state is definitely keen on partnering with France on this initiative. "We have invited a technical team from Nice, to study the conditions in Goa and to chalk out a feasible plan for execution."
