The tourism department, government of Goa, has issued show cause notices to the two hotels wherein foreign tourists were allegedly attacked by the hotel staff.
The department, while seeking action, maintained that these hotels “failed to provide security to their guests.”
In the notice, the hotel/resort owners have been asked as to why action should not be taken against them. Both hotels/guest houses have been asked to submit their replies within seven days, the state tourism department said in a statement on Friday.
Two incidents of foreign tourists being allegedly attacked by hotel staffers have come to light in the past one month.
