Suggestions to improve the tourism

Diversifying the areas of tourism: the tourism industry in Goa has mainly concentrated on beach tourism and neglected other forms of tourism to a large extent.

Training the guides and the local people Maintain the control on the prices of goods and the quality

of services: Improving the infrastructure especially the transport: Improving the safety especially of women. Maintaining a control on the beaches. The beaches in Goa

are very dangerous for swimming due to the changes in tides.

22

Botanical Garden cum Eco Recreational Park very nice to see due to pleasant landscape and as a tourism point of view. one can be understand and try to include this place as one of the tourist place under Goa tourism.
