The CM should wake up from his sleep and see the world through a wider vision and stop fooling the knowledgeable Goans. Goa has slipped well below the top ten tourists destinations in the world.
This Cow Muth believes he is much more qualified than the people from National Geographic.
That is because he's got brains of an ostrich.
This Digu cowmuth Kamat when he wants to attract tourists to Goa talks of the unique culture of Goa. But when he returns to Goa, he promotes the Ghantti culture by encouraging all ghanttis to buy businesses and property in Goa.
Double-standards Digu coumuth Kamat, double standards. Don't take Goans for a ride.
Dear Readers::: not sure if Digu Kamat can read.If he can read...then he cannot understand...and if he cannot understand then he should stay in New Delhi Permanently or his tourist haven of Monti Dongor.(Margao). ...on business trips.
Here is what experts think...

This beach-lined former Portuguese colony offers wildlife sanctuaries, and its towns and cities feature a style of colonial architecture unique in India. Unfortunately, Goa's reputation for sun-and-sand hedonism often attracts visitors uninterested in the state's natural and cultural heritage.
Here is a representative sampling of additional anonymous comments from the panelists. They are not necessarily the views of the National Geographic Society:
"Overcrowding, pollution, overbuilding, and drug abuse have destroyed one of the world’s finest stretches of beach."
"Uncontrolled tourism development with no regard for the local culture or environment. The hotels could be anywhere in the world and cater to European charter tourism focused on cheap, all-inclusive resorts."
"Unplanned development leaves the area with severe problems from lack of sanitation, pollution of waterways, and erosion. This is regrettable because state of Goa features outstanding natural and cultural heritage. Many of the historic structures are giving way to faceless modern architecture."
"Outside of the main tourist areas the environment is still pristine but is being bought up by developers intent on building unsustainable resorts. There are many foreign-run businesses. There is little encouragement for locals to protect environment and culture."

Moti Dongor should be included in the most natural beauties of Goa. Cowmuth himself can be a tourist guide after he is thrown out by the people in the next election. Cowmuth can take the tourist there early morning or at any part of the day and demonstrate the a*ses in open for a clear view. He can explain that it is the new found attraction he imported for Goa. What does Cowmuth understand about tourism? Foe me, Goa is not a tourist place at all other than the hospitality of it's Niz Goenkars.
