They are either leisure tourists or business/ conference tourists. The current tourist visitation to Diu is mainly from the neighbouring state of Gujarat. Diu, inspite of having the right mix to grow as a tourist destination, has restricted visitation mainly due to the difficulty in accessibility to Diu. Based on the tourism resource assessment, SWOT analysis, demand estimation and market study, unique tourism development plans have been proposed for both Daman and Diu. DAMAN: Proposed Tourism Development The tourism development plans in Daman have been categorized under two main developments viz. Heritage Development Plan & Water Front Development Plan. Heritage and Water Front Tourism are also proposed to be the unique selling feature of the Daman region. The Heritage development plan includes development plan for the Moti Daman Fort, Nani Daman Fort, heritage structures in Daman like Churches, old Portuguese buildings, etc. One of the major tourist products proposed is the heritage walk through the Moti Daman Fort area and surrounding Portuguese settlements, which would further accentuated by products like heritage cuisine, cultural shows etc. Moti Daman & Nani Daman Fort is proposed to be conserved and developed so as to portray Daman as the city of Twin forts. The Water Front development plan includes development and maintenance of Devka Beach, development of Jampore Beach, development and promotion of the Sangam Area (meeting point of the Daman Ganga River and the Arabian Sea) and the development of the upstream Daman Ganga river area. i The Devka and the Jampore Beaches are proposed to have an arrival plaza with tourist reception centre, oragnised parking, cloakrooms, proper signages, etc. Jampore Beach is also proposed to have water sports, development of quality restuarnts, etc. The entire coastal stretch is proposed to have a retaining wall to avoid beach erosion. The Sangam Area development is proposed to include development of Bandstand, the Nani Daman and Moti Daman Jetty area. The Sangam area will also offer ferry service as a conveyance mode between the two forts. The existing narrow bridge connecting the two forts is proposed to be cantilevered for developing it as a viewing spot. The upstream of the river is proposed to be developed with all ranges of activities for family and business tourists. It would offer a full fledged club house cum water front tourism products to the tourists. Market Assessment Based on the past tourist arrivals, the above mentioned tourism products proposed to be developed and developments planned for the region, the annual tourist traffic is estimated to increase to 927,000 by the year 2022 growing at a CAGR of 2.51% per annum.

An investigation of the existing heritage materialities is intersected with an ethnographic study of life stories from the Vanza community, once dedicated to weaving. Following other local social groups, the Vanza started migrating to Mozambique at the turn of the twentieth century. The ethnographic findings suggest that crossing different layers of heritages and remains that these circulations left in Diu with life narratives draws us to alternative cartographies of the Indian Ocean world and to a constellation of experiences and sensory worlds that constitute this region.
