GOD'S OWN COUNTRY NEEDS TO PROTECT ITS TOURISTS


Sexual attack on a foreign visitor to kerala has created fresh concerns about the state's image in the international tourism circuit. Foreign women have been sexually attacked in kochi during new year day and New year evening on many occasions.
Our ancestors used to swear by' Adithi devo bhava' and look at the way we treat our foreign guests now, The recent instance molestation of a tourist by a drunken person can do a lot of harm to the Tourism industry. Foreigners are attracted towards this nation not just because of its natural beauty, its culture too matters let every indian remember that this is the land of swami vivekanda who addressed foreigners as " my dear brothers and sisters'
Tourism is a good source of income as well as an instrument for earning the good will of people abroad. so it must be ensured that tourists feed secure in our country.
The European women visiting the state wear short cloths. This some times provokes anti-social elements to sexually attack them. while our country is attractive to tourists, we have respect and protect the tourists if we want improve tourism. The Government should take action against those anti social elements who sully the image of the state though their crimanl behaviour. The main reason for this kind of shameful be haviour is the easly availability of pornographic material through the internet and other sources. Alcholosm in kerala is yet another factor for lowering the moral standards amoung the youth
