"The security situation in Goa remains safe. The state is bound to increase its number of Russian tourists. Now Goa has a huge opportunity to attract part of the tourist flow from Turkey and Egypt," she said.
Belyakova added that in recent years, prices in Goa were partly on the rise, not least due to the fact that the number of Russian tourists visiting the state doubled between 2012 and 2013.
At the same time, she said that the situation has already changed and a number of local businesspeople had started offering discounts.
Her remarks came a day after media reports cited allegations that Goa has been excluded from the list of places Russia considers safe.
The measure followed the blacklisting of Egypt and Turkey, the most popular travel destinations for Russian tourists.
On Saturday, Russia banned tourist operators from operating in Turkey in response to the downing of a Russian bomber Su-24 by a Turkish warplane in Syria.
