Goa's Tourism Director is in the business of making mountains out of holes!
The initial headline in the media two days ago was: >Goa voted most relaxed tourist destination in the world. See http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/goa-voted-most-relaxed-tourist-destination -in-the-world-209644 Outright dishonest claim since LP India was looking at national resources. >From the LP (International) current website at http://www.lonelyplanet.com/india/goa "All is not perfect in paradise, however, and Goa has problems aplenty ...
