The Department of Tourism has warned hotels and accommodation units across Goa that fines will be imposed on those failing to submit mandatory data through the TIME software system. This digital platform requires real-time reporting of guest arrivals, occupancy rates, and tourist demographics essential for state planning.

TIME (Tourism Information Management and Exchange) centralizes data collection from all registered properties to track visitor trends, support security protocols, and inform infrastructure decisions. Non-compliance undermines accurate tourism statistics critical for Goa’s economy.
