There is one beach getaway which is everyoneâs favorite and we make endless plans but never âactuallyâ go there. Yes, we are talking about Goa!  

We all have made several plans to go to Goa and ended up canceling it for bizarre reasons. However, now that we are stuck amid a pandemic and canât go on any vacation, we canât deny that we miss our Goa plans.

Recently, Goaâs Tourism Minister Manohar Ajgaonkar announced that it has re-opened for tourism. This is big news and around 250 hotels in Goa have been permitted to resume operations and take tourist bookings.  

Manohar Ajgaonkar said, "We have decided to allow domestic travelers to enter Goa from July 2 onwards provided they comply with certain norms.â The decision was taken by the Goa CM Pramod Sawant in a cabinet meeting.

So, all you need to do is follow a certain set of rules or you wonât be allowed to enter the state.  

Here you go- 

1.      You need a COVID-19 certificate that tells you are coronavirus negative and should be of only the past 48 hours or youâll have to get tested for the same in Goa. 

2.      Anyone who tests Coronavirus positive would either be sent back or stay in quarantine until their test result is declared negative. 

3.      Travelers need to pre-book their stay at hotels that are approved by the government to operate amid pandemic. 

4.      If in case you booked a non-approved hotel, youâll be sent back and the same would be deemed illegal.   

This news made people on the internet excited to travel but at the same time, the dismally increasing number of Coronavirus cases in India is making people think that this is not a wise step taken by the government.
