TOURISM DEPT. ISSUES ADVISORY TO HOTELIERS/ ACCOMMODATION UNITS

Panaji : September 30, 2025

Department of Tourism has issued an urgent advisory to all hoteliers/accommodation units in Goa for mandatory compliance with TIME Software for Data Submission and C-Form Filing of Foreign Tourists.

TIME (Tourists Information Management Enterprise) which is implemented by the Department of Tourism is a mandatory platform designed to streamline the collection of tourist-related statistics.

The Department has urged all hoteliers, guesthouse owners, accommodators (e.g., Airbnb hosts), to treat TIME data submission as a priority to contribute to a safe and secure tourism ecosystem in Goa, which is vital for maintaining the State’s reputation as premier global tourism destination.

All tourist information must be uploaded to the TIME Software at https://www.goatourism.gov.in (Submission of Form-XI) by 5th every month. Incomplete or inaccurate submissions undermine the purpose of the system and will be treated as non-compliance. Department of Tourism will conduct periodic inspections/audits of accommodation units.

Failure to submit tourist data on the TIME system will be considered as violation and will face fines and sanctions as per the rules laid down by the Department as per the Rule (17) of Goa Registration of Tourist Trade (Amendment) Rules, 2022. Persistent or willful non-compliance may lead to the suspension or cancellation of the establishment’s operating license, as per (17) of Goa Registration of Tourist Trade (Amendment) Rules, 2022.

In addition to TIME compliance, all accommodation units hosting foreign tourists are mandatorily required to submit C-Forms. It is appealed to all hoteliers to act immediately to ensure full compliance. For technical issues or clarifications, reach out at the 24*7 call centre number 1364.
