Former Goa Deputy Prime Minister Vijay Sardesai said Thursday the opening of tourism should not be based on allowing fully vaccinated tourists, but determining when all Goans are fully vaccinated in order to make Goa a safe #trip destination for the country Tourism will.

In a tweet, he said, “For once, will @GovtofGoa consider #Goemkars first? The opening up of #Tourism is not based on admitting fully vaccinated tourists, but rather it should be established when all #Goans are fully vaccinated – so that #Goa becomes a safe #Tourism destination. This is the worldwide practice. ‘

“Before #Tourism opens, @GovtofGoa must ensure that all businesses in #Goan and #Goan workers have all the support and incentives they can to help them rest and recuperate. We have to protect the livelihoods of #Goa first if we really want to #restore Goa’s tourism industry, ”he said.

He was responding to a statement by State Tourism Minister Manohar Ajgaonkar that fully vaccinated tourists should be allowed into the state.
