21. Suggestions to improve the
tourism21
 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.

and try to include this place as one of the tourist place under Goa tourism.
