Tourism ..A big job multiplier .. will help economy.. by word of mouth if visitors from cruises spread their good experience will also help .. We need and should target overall high end.. tourists .. spending power .. or qualified students on holidays etc .. Accordingly we need to create a good eco system .. safety .. law and order .. cleanliness.. no dust and clean Rest rooms .. not get scammed .. by touts etc
