Abstract

Once the tourism area was introduced, Karst Area of Goa Pindul or Pindul Cave has
become “commercially promoted” and being exploited to meet the desires of tourists. One
of the well-known areas is Goa Pindul which meets high demand for visiting the karst
area and therefore it triggers the rise on the number of tour operators. Karst Area Goa
Pindul becomes a contested space by tour operators. The increased number of tour
operators has led to a fierce competition in the service of cave tubing tourism and so the
previous harmonious nuances have turned to be conflicting. Domination among tourism
operators has created inequality or injustice in the community. This means the government
should create the rules of the game in accordance with the ideal vision of the development
of Karst Areas of Goa Pindul. This research was conducted using ethnographic research.
Data was collected with in depth interviews, observation, and document study to find out
how competition and dominance occur between tour operators. The results of this study to
provide input to policy makers.
