Morjim village in Goa at risk due to tourist onslaught
The 15-page report, a collaboration between Oxford Brookes University, the NGO SEEDS and the International Centre Goa (ICG) recommends better education in rights for local people, a more sustainable local environment and better government.
UNLESS BETTER managed, Morjim’s growing tourism trade risks swamping this quiet village, and plunging those already vulnerable into further uncertainty – this is one of the findings of a new report produced by an international team of students and researchers from India and the UK. The report was launched on January 20th at the International Centre Goa, Panjim.
It is pertinent to mention here that a number of beaches and villages in Goa are facing the same problem due to the tourist onslaught. The hordes of tourists from Western countries and also from across India create a situation where local culture, traditions and ecoology are put under severe stress and there is a threat of these being swamped under the tourist footprint.
