Due to heavy monsoon, tourism is generally lean in India between the months of June and September. So these months can be promoted to West Asian countries and Iranian and Jordan tourists as they look out for cooler and rainy places during the time of scorching summers. Goa has even emerged as mid-haul destination for this category of travelers.

Generally, the peak season of Goa starts after September. Also, during monsoons, hotels offer exclusive monsoon packages at discounted rates. Such packages attract tourists from Iran and Jordan. As per the occupancy statistics of Goa hotels during monsoons, it is shown that 5 star hotels have 60% and other hotels have 50% occupancy.
