do you understand what topic is going on?? Did you know what is anything about Goan culture? Who tells you tourism is in decline due to Goan cant maintaining culture ?? Are you high on gau muttre ??

[@anthonyrodrigues9710]

As a Goan and involved in tourism for last 4 decades I am telling you this. The tourist footfall numbers of the goa govt comes on the statistics reports submitted by hoteliers every month. In the last 5 years there is a rampant growth in housing sector which leads to non Goans buying flats, villas, houses, nothing wrong with it. The issue comes when the said villas, flats are rented to tourists on daily and monthly basis which is illegal. No licenses and these on top are residential properties. These crooks float their residential properties online or through agents which robs legitimate hoteliers of their livelihood. Also these crooks do not file any compliances as these are illegal. So naturally tourist data will show less numbers as tourists stay in these illegal places. The worst thing being the government is in deep slumber to act suo moto against these sites and places. I see plenty of tourist in Goa but all cook and eat and stay in these apartments. Also the ammended Tourist trade act is violative of Art 14 and other constitutional provisions.

[@harishrao2000]

Are you saying that the whole AirBnB concept is illegal in Goa? Can you please provide a source for that statement?

[@anthonyrodrigues9710]

@harishrao2000 Tourism is an industry. A guest house/ hotel has to take permission from at least 8 departments and file compliances and yearly returns. The primary question is wether the construction of the structure commercial? Is the conversion of land where structure stands is commercial? Villas owners lists residential properties with residential electricity and domestic water online robbing the govt and us taxpayers to earn profits. I say wanna do business construct proper commercial structure for hotel with all permissions, next take all permission from concerned departments, take water ,electricity commercial connections invest money and then see if Airbnb or oyo is feasible . You will be broke. An example driving an rent a cab with black/yellow plate vs renting out a private white number vehicle which is illegal. Hope your doubts are cleared

[@vickythaya4451]

Goa tourism department and the guy that filed the police complaint are classic examples of how the Goa tourism is structured. Right from the taxi and auto goondaism in Goa by not letting uber ola and fleecing tourists all the way upto the top seems to be the same!

We need more Goas in India. One Goa is taking all the tourism load and getting destroyed. People should explore temple tourism in Madhya Pradesh. What about the forts built by Marathas? All these can be developed. And of course, cleanliness and security is important.

[@atulyasworld2799]

What goa need is balance between tourism and ecosystem, and for that being costly for now is good till the state management find out how to do it like Sri Lanka and Thailand

Whatever is the question I will write what memorised just before the exam…this is this lady’s approach to cover the topic. She had completely lost it.

[@santanodcosta3360]

The type of tourists Goa gets are hooligans and irresponsible tourists which we all Goans desist.

[@fearless802]

They come for cheap liquor and ogling on the beaches.

[@swatisharma9006]

Awesome reporting!

[@Dixie456]

Without evidence. I had to drive away a few visitors out today

[@padmakardeshpande2739]

Hoteliers have formed group to extort tourist.private cars have thier own way to loot tourist. Restaurants are also not behind. Gurudwaras serving free food and here temples are charging rs. 100 where as they get lot of money in donation boxes.

Due to COVID-19, the already declining population of Western countries declined further because of COVID-19 deaths. In contrast, India's growing population saw a higher birth rate during the lockdown. Secondly, the Indian population began to value life and started taking holiday breaks. Unfortunately, this coincided with the Goa tourism marketing team's desperation to revive tourism, which led to promoting "cheap alcohol" and attracting many local tourists. However, most local tourists lack civic sense and personal space concepts. Many have been witnessed harassing international tourists with perverse stares and forcing them to take selfies. Additionally, migrant touts from Rajasthan and Karnataka joined in harassing tourists near beaches and other areas frequented by international visitors. It's not that locals dislike local tourists, but rather the increase in cases of drunk driving, reckless behavior, and women's safety concerns. Furthermore, local tourists investing in real estate threatens the hospitality industry. Corruption has also fueled the holiday home real estate mafia.

We have been coming to Goa for the last more than twenty five years. With the allowing of shops on the ground floor of multi-storied residential buildings, Goa's landscape is becoming eye hurting. A microscopic minority of Goans have a false sense of superiority and arrogance . Some hoteliers discourage people from other states in giving hotel accommodation.People also need to improve their language skills in Hindi to address other people, like replacing shocking " Tu" word with " aap " ; and also soften their verbal communication skills in English ; which sounds hurting when semi-literate speak it. The use of the word " outsiders " for countrymen from other states is derogatory. Sikkim is a fine place to see how people accommodate tourists. Hotels and food have become expensive and the quantity of later has declined. Patron, please forgive me.

[@alwynfernandes3076]

@CadetRaaj I agree with your point that using the term 'outsiders' sounds derogatory and unaccommodating towards our fellow countrymen, highlighting conflicts between locals and out-of-state residents. However, this has now become a universal issue with the terms 'migrants' vs 'locals.' . Regarding Sikkim, the notion sounds racist as it implies that high tourism prices will limit experiences to the privileged crowd. What about lower-income fellow Indians wanting to vacation in Sikkim? . Furthermore, I disagree with granting superior respect to the Hindi language. India has ancient languages original to the land. If people from non-Hindi speaking regions accommodate Hindi during visits to Hindi-speaking areas without demanding respect for their language, the same acceptance should be reciprocated by Hindi-speaking regions.

[@alwynfernandes3076]

@CadetRaaj Please don't apologize. I still belong to a world where interaction between two humans can be sensible, without defensive or offensive reactions. Communication is what propels humans to the next step of evolution.

Spot on

So people who argue that places like thailand and all these other destinations are better than Goa, are very much welcome to go there. None of this is constructive criticism, except the odd acceptable argument about taxis. How would they like it if people came to their cities and totally trashed them , engaged in debauchery of all sorts. Maybe they are the reason why foreigners dont want to come to Goa. Ever thought of that?

[@Dopendekhang]

It is not just goa. Winter is supposed to be tourist season in north India also. But think of pollution level this days. I don't think it is advisable for anyone to visit.

[@udennyn]

People are preferring Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram beaches these days.

[@JaiKumar-u3h]

Real reason is the people who are in the tourism business. Cabs are unreasonably expensive, vehicles and properties rent have become doubled. People are non-cooperative and try to scam you every time. Instagram boosted the number and because of all these reasons Goa has lost its charm. Greed of gaon tourism industry is killing it. Its much affordable for tourist to visit Vietnam and Thailand now.

[@JosephMarques-r9o]

The coastal belt is run by North Indians, full kiosks to resorts. Plus all touts and scamsters. One can easily identify a non-Goan. They speak Hindi. Goans can't speak Hindi fluently. They speak Konkani and English.

[@MrMeetjim]

Why are the news teams forgetting that, most of the foreign tourists who came to Goa were from Israel & Russia. Both countries are under war and economic stress. So it will have impact of us.

[@jayaramprabhu5595]

I had been there some years back but public transport service is very inadequate especially to interior areas & buses are small & overcrowded. Everybody can't afford private vehicles as it's very costly. Even small hotels are very costly.

[@bhad]

5k per night in normal accomodation?? Is it Singapore?

[@jeethusvlogs3597]

Its big time GOA needs a reset. Prices are way to high both for food and stay. Dirty beaches and no proper parking space.

[@Dixie456]

Goa needs a Reset from budgeted desi visitors
