Goa Shack Operators Welcome Early Licences Ahead of Tourist Season

Shack operators in Goa have welcomed the early issuance of licences, hoping to boost the state's tourist economy ahead of the peak season.

The Goa Tourism Department reportedly granted the licences earlier than usual, allowing operators to prepare and comply with safety and health regulations.

Operators say the early approval will help them secure permits for construction and staffing, ensuring a smoother opening when tourists arrive.

The move is seen as a positive step to support local businesses and attract more visitors to Goa's popular beach destinations.
