Starting April 1, the Goa Tourism Department will require all hotels and guest houses to upload guest demographic data using the Tourist Information Management Enterprise (TIME) software. This initiative aims to generate real-time analytics on tourist demographics and travel patterns, facilitating strategic interventions and enhancing the state’s hospitality ecosystem.
Tourism Minister Rohan Khaunte stated that hotels must provide information such as guest age group, country of origin for foreign visitors, state for domestic visitors, duration of stay, and purpose of visit.
Tourism Director Kedar Naik assured that only broad demographic data, not personal details or identity documents, will be collected.
