Tourism in Goa is declining, ‘idli-sambar’ to blame? BJP MLA says…

Live Mint  

The sale of idli-sambar in beach shacks is causing a “decline” in international tourist footfall in Goa, claimed BJP MLA Michael Lobo on Thursday. Addressing a press conference at Calangute in North Goa, Lobo said the government alone cannot be blamed if fewer foreigners visit the coastal state as all stakeholders are equally responsible. Lobo said some foreigners visit Goa every year, but younger tourists from abroad are going away from the state. “The tourism department and other stakeholders should hold a joint meeting and study the reasons why foreign tourists are not ready to come to Goa,” he said.
