Goa is considered to be one of the best tourist destinations. But over the years it has become famous for all wrong reasons. Recently, at the heathrow airport, i came across a pamphlet promoting tourism in goa. It read 'Go Goa...365 days holiday destination'. But below these words there was a picture of a female clad in a bikini riding a jet ski. offcourse, this makes the promotion more attractive. but wat are we projecting goa as? a tourist destination or a sex hub? Many tourists specially the domestic ones have got a bad picture of goa in their minds. they only think that goa is another thailand in india. the picture besides this text is also from one of the website promoting tourism. Offlate our hon'ble tourism minister announced that scantily clad females shall not be used in ad campaigns. It was very encouraging to read his comments in todays newspapers. Hope you keep up your word Mr. Minister! we goans have a rich culture and in no way support or encourage nudity. it is the need of the hour that the wrong image that has been projected everywhere is changed for good. n let people know goa for reason it is best known for "nature, culture n hospitality!"
