Goa is leading the way in pet-friendly tourism, as highlighted by the Novotel Goa Resort & Spa, where pets are treated like cherished guests. Amit Sangwan, the Cluster General Manager, shares that both dogs and cats are welcomed without size or weight restrictions, allowing families to bring up to two pets per room. The hotel caters to furry guests by providing beds, food and water bowls, and even toys. They prepare special meals, like bone broth and homemade peanut butter cookies. The resort’s landscaped gardens and alfresco dining areas encourage pets to enjoy time with their owners during the stay.
This progressive approach reflects a broader trend in Indian hospitality: pet-friendly accommodations are becoming integral to the guest experience, rather than mere marketing gimmicks. This shift highlights the growing demand for travel destinations that embrace pets as part of the family.
