Tourism the backbone of Goa’s economy is now in total shambles and
doldrums. The inflow of tourists has been retreating for varied reasons.
The wretched infrastructure, the accident prone roads, erratic water and
power supply, stray dogs and cattle, garbage strewn all over and the very
high taxes have been turning the tourists off.
Besides due to the alarming crime rate with the increasing number of rapes,
murders and thefts, Goa has also become a very unsafe destination having
now evolved as a gambling, prostitution and narcotics den. Our only solace
is that the terrorists have so far not yet landed here. But with the
current loose cannons by the very impulsive Defence Minister Manohar
Parrikar, if Goa becomes their target we may even lose those leftovers of
the once flourishing Tourism trade and industry.
