    Tour operators also blame the downslide on the exponential increase in Goa's cost of living.

    Travel Advisories: Why now?

    Travel Advisories: Why now?
  • Travel advisories are updated/issued by countries during times of crisis either at home or at the destination.

    The Russian information center stated that terrorism/security was not why Goa was struck off the list

    Increase in cost of living and "ugly" incidents with locals are allegedly major factors in this decision.

    The devaluation of the Rouble has made India too expensive for the average Russian

  • Information

    Devaluation of the Rouble

  • Economic sanctions put forth by NATO on Russian Oil & Gas industries have severely affected the Rouble. In 2013, 1 Rouble was just over Rs.2 and has now reduced to Rs.1.007.
