Govt must promote quality tourism to uplift Goa's image

Once upon a time Goa has standard quality foreign tourists but nowadays those foreigner tourists are not seen on the Goan beaches.

Goonda mafias are controlling Goa as their eyes are on lands and houses of Goans, Requesting our Goa government and tourism minister to promote quality tourism by bringing a strong law to save and protect our beaches.
