Swedes, the Brits and the Germans. Come October, they’ll descend on
Goa in droves. With a marked increase in Charter flights carrying
holiday - makers to the land of sun and sea this winter, luxury
hotels are witnessing a 25- 30 per cent in bookings between
October and March and tourism in Goa could touch the dizzying
heights of the Millennium Eve
celebrations.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

and five-star properties are filling up quickly and so are hotels
down the line. With three additional Charter flights from Russia
bringing in a thousand more visitors a week and the Europeans
deciding to come back to Goa, it seems to be a promising year after
two dull winters,” says Suoni Travels (India) CMD Ranjit Malkani.
Kuoni, which handled booking for around 22,000 visitors to Goa last
winter, expects a 40 per cent increase in sales to the destination,
starting October. </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

truly a pocket-friendly beach Paradise for Caucasians compared to
exotic and expensive destinations like the Maldives or Maritius.
<BR>Tariffs, including Charter airfares, start from $600 to $700 for
a week. Four-star and some five –star properties are gong for $1,000
(including airfare) while at high-end properties like The Leela,
prices could go up to $1,600. “We have reason to believe that
business this winter will even exceed that of 2000- 01. We expect a
40- 45 per cent jump in business from last year based on tour
operator allocations. While tariffs are up by 20 per cent, occupancy
should go up from 67 per cent in the coming season,” says The Leela,
Goa’s head of marketing, Anirban
Sengupta.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
