BEACH TOURISM

Everyone wants"beach tourism". Yet there is no way we can protect our beaches from trash.

This year the UNWTO theme worldwide was "Sustainable Tourism - a tool for development". Yet despite so many reminders to our tourism department that this was an important time to work on sustainability, there was complete disinterest from officials and from the industry. We went about doing the usual masala song and dance events on our beaches.

Any responsible tourism department interested in the long term sustainable development of the industry would have seized the opportunity to prepare a strong policy on cleaning up and maintaining our tourist spots including those inland and in our ghats.

Now we are "developing" Yerada and other spots asking our beach. GOD HELP US!
