And it appears that it does not, so why not save some of the old Portuguese/Goan houses for our children and their childrens' children? Its not just for tourists, but everyday living for the everyday Goan, to be proud of, even if there are some (evil) connotations there of the pre-1961 past................. And after all these old buildings are part of Goa's own heritage, just as are the old temples.......... (thought I'd put that in for good measure).
jc's comment: IF it is true that a big chunk of the Tourism dollar is going to the centre. There already is a source which can and should be tapped jc BTW: Not all connotations of any era are glorious. Life is a combination of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Pre-1961 or post-1961 or even pre-1510 are no exceptions
