This unique blend of cultures and religions is one of the reasons why tourism Goa has become so popular. When it comes to tourism Goa seems to have the upper hand over many other regions of India. As well as combining these two very different cultures it also combines the new with the old.

Since then, tourism of Goa has literally taken off.
