MAPUSA: Every evening at 5, around 250 foreigners flock to Arambol , not as tourists, but as businessmen/women, sitting in a 330m-long line and selling food items like momos, pizzas, sandwiches, salads, tea, coffee, soups etc, at a spot on the beach they call the “Arambol sunset point”. While business , which goes on till 9pm, is brisk for the tourists from Russia, Israel, China and Nepal, locals operating shacks in the vicinity are not pleased.“We are against the foreigners selling food products as we spend thousands of rupees to get licenses to sell food at our shacks. These foreigners, who are operating without any permission, are eating into our business. The FDA should look into this,” a shack owner told TOI.Goan tourism industry players have already clashed with foreigners, mainly Russians and Israelis, who they claim have already “invaded” into the taxi and tour-operating business. “Our business is down by 50% because of the foreigners who conduct their business on the beach. The authorities in-charge need to crack the whip on this, as it is illegal,” said another shack owner, adding, “We have tried to tell them it is against the law as they are here on a tourist visa, but they don’t listen.”Tourists in Goa.
