Hello Everyone
Sunset at the London Excell centre by the river Thames heralded the closing of
the annual very successful three day event known as the World Travel Mart
where nearly every country of the world is represented in a vast Global Village
as a window to the tourism industry where Tour operators, Travel agents,
Ministers and all associated with the travel trade mingle, meet and exchange
views do deals, etc.
Nearly every state of India was represented in an area the size of a football
pitch. Goa took centre stage against a creative illuminated lush green aerial
photograph canopy of palm, jackfruit, cashew and mango trees surrounding the
golden sands of tranquil Betul beach at the mouth of the river Sul.
Congratulations to the photographer with a very very wide angle Lens. The Stand
was very busy undre the sun umbrellas of Goa Tourism with the Theme "GOA
THE DESTINATION THAT ENTICES, ENCHANTS AND ENTHRALLS. Our tourism minister
Nitkant Halarnkar and his very courteous team who after gruelling days
provided a commendable service to the Travel trade bringing visitors to Goa.
Before they leave for Goa I hope they have the opportunity to savour the sights
and
sounds of London England where with the season of goodwill approaching the
streets here are filled with Chrismas theme illuminations.
I despair at the thought that visitors coming for the International Film
Festival from 23 Nov to 3 Dec, the sold out Sunburn festival, Father Agnelo Day
and pilgrims
for St Francis Xavier's feast on 3 Dec will be met with a Season of bad will
where in the name of the Season greed tends to rule the day when local people,
visitors and tourists will be exploited by, for example, taxi drivers in Goa
who are blanketed with this slur. I do not belive that every taxi driver is
greedy perhaps
the local press can assist with a Fare Guidance on their Pages. I hear of White
Taxis caked in dust as they are parked outside hotels awaiting a fare blocking
roads perhaps a staffed Control central with a centralised telephone number
funded by the Taxi drivers could be piloted for the mutual benefit of all.
Living is expensive but still very popular the more birthdays you have the
longer you will live. Goa is known as a paradise on this planet thankfully one
does not
have to die to get there. If only we could get rid of the Sorpotel school of
thought and keep just the Sorpotel what a better place our Goa can be. For my
earlier
reference to Sorpotel see Goanet Digest Vol 6, Issue 823, Message 10 or email
me [email protected].
