Charter flights Not likely to begin
However, since the international flights are yet to function, the government of Goa is now registering only domestic tourists.
Consequently, the charter flights bring in foreign tourists to Goa and the shack owners rely exclusively on these charter flights. But this year due to the pandemic still recovering, the government has announced to reduce the shack owners’ license fees by 50 percent.
In other words, the peak season begins from November to February wherein the charter flights run at peak. This year due to the Pandemic there is no hope of resumption of charter flights at least for the moment.
