Empty Beaches in Goa
Author: admin
Tourism is Goa has dropped 20% since the terrorist attacks in Mumbai a few weeks ago, according to the Associated Press.
Tighter security is at least part of the equation that's got visitors looking elsewhere for a place to spend Christmas break on the beach. Goa officials have banned beach parties and stepped up patrols. According to the AP, "Those who stuck to their plans are arriving to metal detectors and baggage scanners instead of the cocktails, house music and rollicking outdoor parties that the laid-back former Portuguese colony is known for."
Goa without parties. Hmmm…

Security is the first concern of most travlers, and the guarantee of a happy tour.
