Hi Godfrey Sadly the law and order situation has deteriorated in Goa, along with the political situation. On Sunday, there was reported gang violence leaving one dead and two seriously injured at Siridao. This gang violence may not have directly involved tourists but who is to say the lawless nexxus, including the drug mafia is not involved like in the Scarlet murder case.
Foreign and domestic tourists have been murdered over the years in Goa. If we cannot guarantee basic safety to the tourist, it is not fair to ask the tourist to visit. In addition, Goa get terrible headlines. Better the tourist goes to other places where they are safe.
