Schengen Visa Appointments Unavailable Until September Due to High Demand
Travellers from non-EU countries who need a Schengen visa to enter the Schengen Area might have to cancel or change their summer holiday plans if they have not obtained a visa yet, as there are no available appointments until September.
The travel industry executives have revealed that currently, the 26 Schengen Area countries do not have available slots for July and August. It has been explained that a couple of countries may have some available slots for August. Nonetheless, most of them do not have any appointments available until September. Such a thing is happening as the embassies are unable to meet the high demand due to the fixed number of visas they can issue.
Goa to set up co-working spaces for working professions on beaches
There is some good news for professionals visiting Goa. As per the reports, the state government has come up with the concept of co-working spaces on the beaches, which will allow professionals to work while enjoying the picturesque shoreline.
In the initial phase, Morjim and Miramar beaches in North Goa and Benaulim beach in South Goa have been selected for setting up such co-working spaces. Anyone can work, enjoy surfing on the beach and come back, take a shower, and resume work through these co-working spaces on the beaches.
The tourism department is also planning to set up model beach shacks, which will come equipped with all modern facilities, including Wi-Fi for customers. These shacks would be set up at Colva, Baina and Benaulim beaches in South Goa and Calangute-Baga belt in North Goa.
