Oread your master plan. As usual, the most important aspect has been left out completely, which is the tourist itself. Tourists make the tourism in Goa. Because today there is no safety, law or order to protect the tourists, they choose a safer destination at the moment. Due to the unsolved murders and death cases, Goa today seems a very risky and dangerous destination. The answer for improving the tourism in Goa is definitely not to try to bring in more tourists when you cannot even cope with the numbers you get today. The killings covered in worldwide media at the moment prove the poor safety aspect.
To improve the tourism in Goa, you cannot leave out the safety aspect. This is what we suggest:
1. The unsolved murders should be investigated rapidly to have the guilty Goans or any other nationals prosecuted and convicted. As long as Goan nationals who have seriously harmed tourists are protected by Goan authorities and police, Goa is considered very unsafe destination. Crimes happen elsewhere too, but there is an attempt to catch the killers, but that is not the case in Goa. As long as the goal of Goa police is to cover up murders rather than solve them, tourists will avoid Goa.
2. In the future killings, there should be an immediate action when a tourist has been found dead. The police should be directed for a thorough investigation of the crimes to identify and prosecute the suspects fast, in order to avoid losing information. For this, education for the police officers is needed as well as local forensic labs that can perform the analysis in hours, not in years as now. Also, any police officers bound to take bribes to protect the criminals should be prosecuted and removed from the police force.
3. Future tourists should be warned of the dangerous local destination. The local authorities should be made to compete in safety of the tourists, and with safety we mean getting the dangerous individuals off the streets in jail where they belong, whether they are Goan, coming from other parts of India, or foreign. When the local authorities clean the destinations from the dangerous elements, they can be recommended to tourists as safe destinations. Tourists should be warned about those localities where unsolved crimes still exists. Tourists need honest information about the safety issues to re-establish the trust between tourists and Goa.
We sympathize with Goans and how their homeland is being systematically ruined in every way possible and how no one feels safe in Goa any more. Also for them it is important to have the killings of tourists and locals to be solved as soon as possible and the guilty elements and corrupt police officers removed from the society. A thorough cleaning is needed in the society as well as on the beaches.
