Michael Lobo

politician India

Michael Lobo is a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in Goa. He has recently been in the news for attributing the decline in international tourism in Goa to the prevalence of local foods like idli-sambar and vada pao in beach shacks, as well as the impacts of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which he claims has deterred visitors from those regions. Lobo emphasizes the need for collaboration among stakeholders in the tourism sector to address the challenges facing the industry in Goa.
