Goa is the tourist city of India. The Goan economy is heavily dependent on tourism. Its beaches, hotels, cuisine, Portugal cultural history attract millions of domestic and foreign tourists. Foreign tourists are likely to visit the city at any time of the year. But, due to the high standard of living domestic tourists time their visits to the city only during summer months. Kolkata residents take advantage of these tourism airline packages. Domestic flights out of Kolkota are usually overcrowded with tourist families, student groups and holiday seekers. Sometimes, special discounts are also offered to job personnel on the 'economy' class. Domestic flights offer a minimum of refreshments. Usually, refreshments are sold to passengers during the course of the charter flight. Domestic flights with one or more transit stops are usually packed with a shortage of seats. Such service flights place heavy stress on the economy class. Special prices at discount rates are also offered to national or international conference and symposium members. In contrast, direct and indirect internationals flights cater to tourists, students and foreign students.
