Panaji: So you’ve swum and lounged on a Goa beach. You’ve partied and
sampled Goa’s nightlife. You’ve been to the state’s temples, churches,
waterfalls and forests. Shell out Rs 2,000 more and you’ll soon be able
to view the splendour of the western Indian beach tourism destination
from up in the sky.
The seaplane service, which is all set to be operational ahead of this year’s tourism season, will also be of great assistance in search and rescue missions as well as to address coastal security concerns, Goa Tourism Development Corporation chairperson Nilesh Cabral told IANS here.
Seaplanes, according to Cabral, are the next big offering from Goa Tourism, which he said is committed to expanding the state’s reputation as solely a beach tourism destination to one with multiple offerings like avi-tourism, heli-tourism, hotair ballooning and the like.
“The first seaplane which will operate in Goa is a four-seater. We have already finalised the landing and take-off area along the Mandovi river near Old Goa, which is away from the river’s main operational channel,” Cabral said.
