After Mumbai Terror attacks ,tourist season in Goa is badly affected. Foreign tourists are avoiding to visit India. Tourist season in goa opens at end of September and soon hotels shows the boards of booking full every year. But this year is hard for these hotels to get customers . Star Hotels have already slashed their rates to 75%. On new year event whole Goa goes full of foreigners and local tourists. Business gains its peak level on eve of new year for local shopkeepers like wine marts, restaurants. But Mumbai attacks are seems to be washout for goan shopkeepers.
Taxi business is fully related to Tourist is badly affected. You will find taxi owners waiting for customers on Goan stands. It is difficult to get a single customer throughout the day to meet daily expences. Majority of youths have accepted taxi as business. They have purchased the high end vehicles such as Toyota Innova's from banks. The monthly instalment of the bank comes around 15000 for these top end vehicles. If there is no business then how to pay such a huge instalment is now a big question in taxi owners minds. Government supporting hand is required to these taxi owners for saving of their business.
Tourism ministry should give assurance to other countries that India is safe for the tourists.Otherwise the economic condition of Goans will go to down side.
