Although that statement may not remain true in distant future but locals as well as the government understand the importance of tourism to the state.

During this time most beaches do still remain open but not in true sense. Most beach shacks are not operational and so is the case with water sports all over Goa. Recently water sports have started in rivers of Goa which remain open even in Monsoon season.
