Quality tourists who abide by laws of land needed

A recent viral video about 2 drunk tourists in a four wheeler, driving on Morjim beach, and posing a threat not only for the locals but also creating disturbance for turtles is obnoxious.  Subsequently, the tourists who are descending on Goan shores should also abide by the law of the land, and simultaneously go by decent enjoyment. Few months back we had another incident of tourists bursting crackers and driving recklessly on the bridge. It was a ridiculous act. Furthermore, not forgetting about those tourists who are wandering entire Goa in Volvo buses. These are the ones who are involved in 'open air cooking' system at any isolated places which they discover on their way. Within seconds these tourists will display a mini open air kitchen and start cooking their delicacies. After enjoying their meals, the place will be found littered. Quality tourists are the ones who love to spend time with nature and absorb its intrinsic details. They interact with the locals, dive deeply into the intricate cultural bonds of the place. These are the ones who create awesome memories of Goa by contributing much to this lovely destination.
