Gentrification comes to Goa.
The Indian coastal resort, for long a mecca for ravers and hippies before
them, is
attempting
to discourage backpackers and dreadlocked scum, and hopefully replace
them with an influx of wealthy jetsetters. To do this, they have announced
the closure of the flea market, and a ban on loud music after 10pm.
Perhaps they should look at building a family-oriented theme park with a
(carefully sanitised) hippie/rave theme and marketing that through the
mass media?
