During this this tourist season commencing tommorrow upto the 15th of May, 2008 we wish you a pleasant & memorable holiday. It is however our earnest desire to forewarn tourists of many of the NEGATIVE factors which may perhaps leave some unpleasant impressions on your departure. a) Standard of hygiene in Goa is far below international standards. Garbage is seen strewn all over the State and poor hygiene is now common feature. Health precautions is a must. Also ensure consumables that are prominent branded products. b) Travel within the State could put you in a dilema. Over-charging by transport operators. Compulsion of paying return fare. Lack of knowledge of the topography and locations are common among private operators. Hence double check on fare structure and routes. Visit Government of Goa transport site www.goatransport.com for some assistance. c) Goa Police is expected to assist tourists. However You could be an innocent victim of illegal gratification by these men/women in uniform. Hence stay on the right side of the law. Carry all relevant documents during your travel. d) Owing to the ever rising threat perception carry an acceptable photoidentity document at all times and produce the same on demand.
