Unsolved problems led to declining foreign tourists: Michael

Foreign tourists are on the decline. This has been noticed earlier. But the government had always seemed to be in denial. On Tuesday, the Calangute MLA Michael Lobo confirmed this and enumerated reason why this is happening. His constituency includes the world famous Calangute and Baga stretches

No meters for Taxis, clashes between rival tourist taxi groupings, drinking and creating nuisances on the beaches, no coordination between various stakeholders.

These were some of the various reasons that Michael said he had placed before the tourism minister Babu Azgaokar and the chief minister on Tuesday.

The minster who is the Calangute MLA also said tha the wanted meetings of all stakeholders to happen regularly. And the one held today was the first.
