<Fred,
Is it your view that NRI visitors to Goa are "welcomed" only as dollar-spenders and that generally the locals seek to make a fast buck out of them? >
Dear Eddiebab
I don't know about Fred's view wrt your query - but here is mine
YES - what else did you believe to be the case?
The MORE they spend, the BETTER the welcome.
One caveat - I doubt the "locals" are prejudiced . I believe they will "welcome" Sterling and Euro spenders just as much as they "welcome" dollar spenders.
Let's get real - what do you believe is the deal in (say) London?
Do they not "welcome" non-rupee spending Tourists from India and certain parts of the Caribbean et Middle East?
And Yes......anywhere in the world, you will find LOCALS who will seek to make a fast buck out of naive tourists.
