Panaji (Goa), May 26 (ANI): Goa has emerged as the favourite destination for Nepalese as hundreds get employment in the hospitality industry here.

Tourism and the hotel industry flourish in Goa and the hotels and restaurants in Panaji employ a large number of people from Nepal.

Offering enticing opportunities, good pay packages and other facilities; the industry has turned into a hub for employment for them.

Viren, a Nepalese supervisor at a local hotel said he did not feel that he was working in a foreign country, as the working conditions were familiar to one in his own country.

"Here in Goa I feel like my home only. I feel much better. There is no problem. We feel like India is our country only," said Viren.

Former territory of the Portuguese, the western Indian state has many renowned beaches, places of worship and world heritage architecture, which attracts large number of international tourists along with the domestic crowd.

Roshan Pun, another immigrant from Nepal working as a cook at a local hotel said that he was happy with his pay package and added that he was residing in Goa from the past 10 years and was able to take good care of his family as well.

"The working conditions, lifestyle and environment in Goa is very nice and I earn enough to feed both my family members back in my village in Nepal and myself too," said Pun.

Tens of thousands of tourists visit Goa to enjoy its sun kissed beaches, which are also famous for nightlong parties.

Goa attracts over 2.6 million tourists annually. The surf, sun and cheap liquor are some of the main draws of the state, which is one of the top beach tourism destinations in the country. (ANI)
