The decision to kick-start tourism was taken during the cabinet meeting. It was also decided that 250 hotels can resume its services keeping with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) decided by the state government.

"We have decided to allow domestic travelers to enter Goa from July 2 onwards provided they comply with certain norms," said the tourism minister.
