Treat Tourists With Respect

Rating: 5.0


Our Ham-handed Immigration Officials
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
the Beercroft couple in their seventies
done in badly by our wrong priorities

spent a fortune on a dream India tour
after landing in Goa from Gatwick
sent back by same flight rather quick
by our immigration, leaving Beercrofts sour

as they.reached.counter five minutes later
than what visa entry deadline stated

perhaps.Sushmaji would have helped
along this line none seems to have delved

our officials need to be trained to sift
terrorists from genuine tourists

tourism is a big money spinner
this game needs open minds to be winners

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Beercroft couple from UK 77 years of age, had long desired to tour India. After spending a fortune they landed in Goa. To their utter shock, they were sent back to England by same flight, because their India visa stamp had an entry time deadline which had expired just 5 minutes back.This is truly not the way to treat elderly tourists. Moreover tourism industry is in bad shape because of lack of tourists.I hope better sense will prevail all around!
Sushma Swaraj (Sushmaji)is Foreign Minister of India and known to go out of the way to help foreigners who face visa problems and such other difficulties.She can be tweeted 24*7 and she is sure to respond positively within time.This case is a bad advertisement for Indian tourism.
