June 21: As suggested by the reports, Goa will not open for tourism until every individual of the state receives at least one dose of the Covid vaccine. The announcement was made by Goan Chief Minister Pramod Sawant who also added that the administration is aiming to achieve this target by July 13.<\/p>\n
The state Tourism Minister Manohar Ajgaokar also added earlier that the tourism should restart only after the coastal state’s entire population is completely vaccinated to fight against Covid-19. While stating the information, the minister also stressed the fact that Goa’s tourism industry cannot stay shut forever as the industry is a strong backbone of the state’s economy.<\/p>\n
The statement comes after the government had informed the Travel and Tourism Association of Goa about the state’s hospitality sector that would be allowed to fully open but after witnessing the positive rate drops below 5%.<\/p>\n
