A Goan carnival Maitreyee Handique / New Delhi August 10, 2005 <Every year, two million domestic and foreign tourists land in Goa seeking the warm sun and the beach. But Arun Suri, chairman of Delhi-based, Rs 60-crore Blue Coast Hotels and Resorts, thinks there's little the coastal holiday town (sic) has to offer, other than nature.> <With Goa becoming an all-year destination, Suri feels there is a great scope of business as demand for Goa as a wedding and corporate destination grows. "Earlier people wanted a second home in Kasauli or Mussorie. Today, most people want a home in Goa," says Suri. Nearly 680 charter flights arrived in Goa last year, a jump of over 40 per cent over the previous year. This year, nearly 750 flights are expected to touch down.>
