    Abstract
    None of the coastal areas under study possess the rich sand dune flora characteristic of an undisturbed beach. The status of dune vegetation in tourism villages has been deteriorating as compared to that in the developing or non-tourist villages. Interactions with elders from the coastal area also reveal that a number of fruit-bearing trees, which were present 20 years ago, have now disappeared. Some isolated specimens are spotted in private compounds. Whereas tourists are attracted to Goa, India mainly due to its natural beauty, efforts to homogenize and produce 'similarity' in tourism destinations destroy the diversity of natural vegetation, with adverse long-term consequences for the industry and the region
