The Mandovi is in trouble yet again. Another Casino, Pride of Goa has been added to its waters. The Mandovi has been over burdened with a recent increase in the number of boats, three casinos, and not to forget the endless number of barges that cross it everyday.
The government, by giving permission to this new casino, has not only got the River Mandovi in anger, but also the people who are fighting and protesting against the constant abuse towards the river.
I do not know, which Goan is proud to have Casino - Pride of Goa entering Goa, but all that I can say is with this kind of "Tourism", Goa is set to become the Las Vegas or Thailand of India, unless we unitedly fight against this kind of Tourism!
Goa is famous for its beautiful nature, heritage and Culture and NOT prostitution, Crime and Money!

you are absolutely right! Casinos are not right for the Goan culture. I have never encountered a fellow goan who gambles! I wish the government would for once take the decision that doesn't harm the well being of the goan community!!!!
any commitments given by the govt?
please update what it is the present govt stand on this.

There's also King's Casino guaranteed to beggar you.
I think casino (floating) can be operated in goa.
meaning one casino is more than enough....
even at the most two: one in north and other may be in south.
Great information. I got lucky and found your site from a random search Google. Fortunately for me, this is found to be something that I tried to find more information for research purposes. Keep us the great and thank you.

its very hard to take any other points you make seriously when you say that this has burdened the river or this is constant abuse against the river it just sounds like you are grasping at straws and looking for a reason to be angry... maybe you should protest against all fishing or tourist jetties also this selective outrage shows a low brow mentality
