Partagal Math: Updating the Feasibility of a Spiritual Tourism Destination Built Around a 77-Foot Statue

A 550-year-old spiritual institution in Goa had expanded its proposed destination and its earlier feasibility study no longer held. MARC re-tested the visitor model and the financials, zone by zone.

Before

The client's situation

  • Partagal Math is a legacy spiritual institution in Goa with a proposed destination centred on a 77-foot Lord Ram statue.
  • The expanded scope included a Ramayana-themed park, a museum, a 3D/7D theatre, an auditorium, and yoga and meditation facilities.
  • A prior feasibility study had to be updated because market conditions and the project scope had changed.

Challenge

The question that had to be answered

How should a 550-year spiritual institution update its tourism feasibility and visitor model?

MARC's approach

What we did

  1. 1

    The tourism market, visitor trends, catchment potential and competing destinations were reassessed.

  2. 2

    TAM/SAM footfall, revenue streams, CAPEX, OPEX, IRR, NPV, ROI and payback were updated.

  3. 3

    A branding, marketing and visitor engagement strategy was developed.

Result

What the work delivered

  • An updated feasibility report and a revised financial model were defined.
  • Food-court demand, a space study and visitor distribution were planned.
  • The marketing strategy was aligned to revenue targets and to the visitor experience.
Consulting takeaway

Large religious tourism projects need commercial discipline without losing purpose: footfall, dwell time, spend per visitor and viability must be tested zone by zone.
