☆☆ “We are the product of our history.” – Shweta Satpathy ☆☆
Goa’s tourism heavyweight Ralph de Sousa — historian, entrepreneur, and Past President of the Goa Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Travel & Tourism Association of Goa, and CII Goa Chapter — joins us for an unmissable deep-dive into the real state of Goa’s economy, culture, labour force, and future tourism strategy.
Goa 2026: Paradise Lost or Reborn?
In this powerful conversation, Ralph breaks down:
• Why Goa’s tourism decline happened and what it will take to rebuild
• Taxi prices, digital meters, and transport reform
• Goa’s migrant labour & household staff crisis
• The post-pandemic shock to hotels, restaurants, and small businesses
• Goa’s heritage, biodiversity, and coastal identity under pressure
• Konkani food culture — Goan curries, bebinca, toddy, traditions
• The lost magic of Anjuna’s flea markets & rock culture
• Why Goa must attract startups, creators, and the youth
• What the future of Goa’s tourism industry ACTUALLY looks like
Ralph speaks not just as a tourism leader but as someone shaping policy as part of the Government of India’s Institute of Hotel Management, Porvorim.
This is the most honest conversation on Goa’s future — from beaches to business, food to festivals, heritage to hospitality.
