Abstract

Goa (India) is (inter)nationally known as a reputed tourist destination. Tourism is recognized as the most important industry of the Goan economy, especially considering the politico-legal freeze on Goa’s other major industry – mining. With HIV/AIDS playing much havoc particularly in the developing world, with India (and Goa) not being spared, the present article is an attempt to shed light on the vicious connection between haphazard, unethical or volumes-alone-focused tourism, and HIV/AIDS. Considering the serious nature of the impact that HIV/AIDS bears on individuals, households, communities and economies, the article concludes that ethical, responsible, and community-based tourism is needed to contribute to the prevention of HIV/AIDS.
