we have booked our 4th holiday to goa(FEB 2008) and it was just by chance that i went on to the visa thread as it took so long for our visas to come back this year and i thought i would check on how long applications might take this time.i'm dismayed to read that many think that india no longer want western tourists to visit goa. is it really this or is it another way of raking in extra cash? surely all tourism is good for the economy.i hope it is just another way of making more money and not to discourage foreign visitors or stop them altogether or we will have lost a lovely holiday destination.
