Goa, one of the best vacation destinations, is facing a bleak tourist season due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown. Manuel Cardozo, President of Traditional Shack Owners' Association said that this tourism season is the worst ever, and not just shack owners, all those involved in the tourist industry have suffered. "The next tourism season is also looking bleak, even as Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that the next season could start in December," Cardozo told ANI.
He also said that the government should release pending money from the tourism department and demanded a relief package to make up for the losses caused due to the coronavirus crisis and waiver of fees for the next season.
