PANAJIFacing a drop in tourist ar-rivals by chartered flights, the Goa tourism industry has decided to request the Centre to reduce the taxes to allow more chartered flights to land at the state’s lone Dabolim airport.
“Last year, there was a drop in arrival of chartered flights by almost 30 per cent. This is a cause of wor-ry for the tourism industry which is dependent on for-eign footfalls,” Travel and Tourism Association of Goa (TTAG) president Savio Messias told PTI.
A delegation of TTAG has decided to take up the mat-ter with the Union govern-ment.
Messias said the lack of space to park aircraft dur-ing night halt is a major constraint faced by the
chartered flights which discourages them from coming to Goa. “Goa is the only Indian state where chartered flights arrive. We have to provide them facil-ities so that their landing here is encouraged,” the TTAG chief said.
“The Indian Navy should provide additional area for parking the aircraft or old airport building should be razed down to make more space,” he said.
He said Eastern Asian countries are giving tough competition to Goa in terms of attracting char-tered tourists.
While pointing out that parking at Goa airport is an expensive proportion for chartered flights, Mes-sias said Goa government should provide some sub-sidy to these operators.
“Goa has already been labelled as an expensive destination. Such kind of
subsidy will help to ease the spending by visitors,” he said.
TTAG also said the recent power tariff hike, increase in luxury tax during off season and hike in mini-mum wages is already tax-ing the tourism industry.
“With the recent hike in minimum wages, the la-bour bills of the hotels are going to go up by almost 60 to 70 per cent,” Messias said.
The TTAG has now de-cided to join hands with other trade bodies, like Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industries (GCCI) and CREDAI, to urge the state government to lower the minimum wages.
“We don’t mind hike in the minimum wages. But the amount of hike pro-posed by the state govern-ment is exorbitant,” he said.

series ordered by Sri Lanka. Speaking on the occasion, Hettiarachchi said that the vessel will be deployed to protect the common mari-time interests in the Indi-an Ocean and address the common maritime secu-
rity threats and challenges that are becoming more complex and challenging day by day.
“When we look at the area south of Sri Lanka, one can clearly see that till the South Pole we have a huge
open ocean space wherein few have the capacity to carryout surveillance in this vast ocean space,” said
Hettiarachchi and opined that Sri Lanka Navy, being strategically located in the Indian Ocean, has to expand her maritime reach mainly in EEZ at the initial stage and then stretch into the high seas to assist other regional navies in protect-ing the oceans, and to en-sure that our seas are used only for peaceful purpose.
He said that addition of this advanced offshore pa-trol vessel as well as the next vessel will enhance the maritime surveil-lance capability and capac-ity of the Sri Lanka Navy. “Our Navy too then will be able to contribute in a much broader way to protect the maritime interests of not only Sri Lanka, but that of the whole Indian Ocean re-gion”, stated Hettiarachchi.
