Response: I am always attracted by articles on Pillage of Goa OR should it be Pillage IN Goa. Among today's stories was this year's booming tourist business in Goa. The top rates for this time of the year are $130-150 per room per night. Next year it is going up 15%. With these rates at these Hotels (50-60% foreign and 40-50% domestic tourists), I am wondering who is pillaging whom. This shows that the tourists who have the whole world to visit are willing to spend their hard-earned money and enjoy every penny, get pleasure from spending it in Goa. That is a lot of poixe even for bhaile. With 20% of native Goans working in tourist business, I am glad to see a major portion of that tourist poixe being spent in Goa. It is phun to see Goans who have gone abroad talk about their land being pillaged ani native Goenkars making money. Hilarious, Amusing ani Witty!!! ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
