We can but hope and pray. Just spoken to 6 people long termers who are not renewing their rentals before they leave this week.
As for peeps T - do you mean the BE peepers who do not join the site but are happy to take all the help that you guys get for them. They should be ashamed not to stand up and be counted. That man Lewis needs their stories, but some people sit back and let others do all the work.

"The visa application process keeps changing and this has deterred people from booking. He argued that currently holidaymakers in possession of a six-month, multi-entry visa cannot re-enter India within 60 days. This is causing a lot of problems in the UK; clients who traditionally take two holidays in the season are rethinking their plans"
"Local articles no longer remain local and are soon broadcast worldwide,” he said and urged the local media to be sympathetic to the plight of tourists in order to portray the correct impression of Goa"
Thanks for this GC56 and the GV,
Having had the pleasure of speaking to Platon directly over the years I can assure you he is a very honourable, knowledgeable man in all things Goan but above all he is a very shrewd and strong business man, his opinion will be voiced and heard throughout the UK travel industry.......

Nice article, GC56 and excellent reply, K-C. Thank you.
Let's hope Mr Platon's clear realisation of the situation cuts the mustard with the blinkered Delhi-based beaurocrats.
Perhaps he ought to have a man-to-man talk with Mickky P. too, and put him right on a few points about the British holidaymaker - especially that we are NOT dole-queuers but do work HARD to earn our holiday(s) and our retirement.
Mind you, he might be out of a job soon![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)

I wonder where he will sign on?

Remember the days when British weekend newspapers used to be filled with such articles?
Not anymore. In my 2 months exile here in Blighty, I haven't seen 1 snippet about Goa in any newspaper.
I wonder if we shall see an invasion of New Yorkers soon, or will they stick to Mexico?
Goa seems a long way to travel for 36 hours of hedonistic pleasure
