Dear Paulo, Thanks for the compliment to Goans in Goa. We deserve it. Less than a hundred charters in 1999,250 charters in 2002,projections for upto 600 charter flights in 2003.... signs of declining tourist interest,is it?[ That we would have preferred the higher end, non-golfing tourists is another issue.]Brits,Germans,Russians and even the Israelis are coming to Goa.Enough of them for Cecil to post a rib-tickler on orange juice on Goanet and print it in the Times of India (Sept 05,2003)
Miguel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colaco-Dias, Paulo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Agnelo, Do you live in Goa?If yes, I take my hat off to you and I wish I had your courage and guts. If not, why don't you live in Goa? In a few years, the downgrading process of Goa will be over (when there is nothing else to downgrade) and there will not be a Goa for Goans anymore, not even for those who only want to spend holidays there. The attraction for Goa is reducing exponentially. While tourism is getting better and better everywhere else, tourism in Goa already reached its peak in the late nineties and in 2000 and 2001.
