Hi IN reply to your article about charging tourist on charter flights British tourist have to pay 2225 rupees for visa each year we visit your country plus I buy for the orphanage in Panjim each year, we have just paid for the jeep to be repaired and a pressure cooker and bought flip flops for all the children, amounting to £300 plus food to feed them through the monsoon, so I think I put plenty into your state plus all the money we spend while we are there, this was my eleventh visit, and I have all ready booked for next year, so charging another 500 rupees I think is wrong, we don't charge anything to visit the UK.
Yours Sincerely Mrs. R Dobson -------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTE OF THE DAY -------------------------------------------------------------- Rs 100 is not a big amount for a tourist. In countries such as Thailand, foreign tourists are charged a cess of around 40 dollars. Here, a cess of Rs 500 would be reasonable. -- S V Balaram, long connected with Goa's tourism sector, on the Goa government's plans to charge Rs 100 as cess on each foreign tourist arriving in the state via charter flights or through hotel bookings. -- Gomantak Times. -------------------------------------------------------------- Read all Goanet messages at: http://www.goanet.org/archive.php?name=News&list=goanet
