| December 24, 2009 | Goa basks in flavours of Christmas | | Panaji: Goa, a hot destination for tourists, is all set to welcome visitors with a riot of Christmas festivities as every bakery in Goa is flooded with customers eyeing their favorite cakes. The influx of tourists has pushed the demand for cakes to almost double that of last year. Meanwhile, hotels and resorts in the region are also getting ready for tourists as they are
expecting a heavy rush during the weekend. "This time the festivities are going
to be grand in Goa . We have made a grand display of traditional Christmas goodies
like chocolate cakes, Santa cakes and goodies baskets," said Prasad, a chef at
Hotel Cidade de Goa. Tourists and locals are rushing to stores to get hold of
the best Christmas trees and decorations. "I personally came to this store to
purchase a Christmas tree. I decorate my Christmas tree with all the decoration
pieces at my house. This is Christmas mood, and each and every one should celebrate
it. This is a peace-loving festival and I would like to wish everybody a happy
Christmas," said Jose Philip d'Souza, Revenue Minister of Goa. | |
