ZEENEWS comments to date !

How DARE Mr Naik make such insulting,racial, sweeping comments about tourists in Goa ! Goa`s tourism is already down 15% this last season and Mr Naiks outrageous insults will NOT help the Goan tourism sector in the slightest. -Alf Tupper - UK

Having travelled to Goa for the last 12 years, those kind of comments have made me reconsider. How arrogant is this man ? suggesting that people on holiday are involved in insurance fraud and should not have a late night drink, after all we spend our hard earned money to get away for the sunshine and enjoy ourselves, obviously this is now not allowed in Goa. -Ex Goa - UK

Could Mr Ravi Naik please inform all foreign tourists of ``our rules`` just so there will be no confusion, In almost every country where tourism is a mainstay, the police are there to not only serve and protect the local community but the tourists as well, it is their job. nowhere in the holiday brochure does it say ``Do not drink or travel late at night for fear of being drugged raped and murdered`` not even in the small print. If anyone is giving Goa a bad name nationally and internationally, it is the corrupt Goan government ministers and inept police force. -Harry - London

If that's the same Alf Tupper I think it is, he had a younger brother, Bobby I think.

Anyhow, here's an article worth reading from the Navhind Times:

"India’s fastest emerging cities targeted for investment
4 Jun: Law Society Gazette (UK). The UK government has drawn up a list of emerging Indian cities that it will target for British investment, opening the door for City lawyers to advise British businesses heading to these locations. The report lists nine rapidly growing Indian cities as having the greatest potential for investment, including tie-ups with local law firms… Goa is listed as having high potential. Social, economic and cultural indicators, as well as the infrastructure of 179 Indian cities were evaluated!

Goa! :confused: Goa ! :eek: High potential :rofl: they must be mad or they haven't read up on Goa :eek: I'm sure even Sir Alan Sugar & the Dragons would be put of by the Sh1t we have to put up with !:thumbdown:
