Detailed version

TourismTech isn’t just a concept — it’s making an impact.

Over the past 4 years, FiiRE Goa has worked closely with startups and local stakeholders, proving that technology can transform tourism.

We believe 2025 is the inflection point. Let’s build solutions that scale beyond Goa — across India and beyond.

🏝️ Here’s what the state wants solved:

• Crowd Management:
  Predictive tools to manage tourist flow in peak seasons.

• Anti-Touting Systems:
  AI + identity checks to curb unauthorized touts.
  

• Beach Surveillance:
  Smart monitoring to prevent overcrowding and ensure safety.
  

• Digital Parking:
  Real-time parking availability + smoother traffic in tourist zones.
  

• Eco-Tourism Mapping:
  Promote offbeat trails, stays, and experiences sustainably.
  

• Tour Operator Licensing:
  A smarter, cleaner way to license and monitor operators.
  

• Tourist Sentiment Dashboard:
  Real-time insights from reviews and social media.

🎯 Why it matters

If it works in Goa, other states will follow.

Give it 3–5 years — and we at FiiRE wants to see atleast 3 state tourism boards will run their own TourismTech challenges.
