Nobody is going to be so stupid and stop coming to Goa just because the taxiwallas are charging higher rates. There are people in India who have tons of spare cash for whom a few thousand bucks is nothing. They will not hesitate for a minute because they can easily afford to pay it. Afterall how much extra will they be paying for a 2/3 day stay. These same people pay hundreds of rupees for a cup of coffee in the 5-star hotel that they are staying at without blinking an eye. This issue is basically generated by the lower middle class, budget class wallah, paisa vasool wallah, bargain hunters. The rich will continue to come to Goa as they can afford it with ease. The sheer dynamics of economics controls pricing. Where there is a demand there are people who are ready to supply. Ultimately only Adani, Ambani and retired Modi will be able to afford the taxi fares in Goa. Goa will be the Paris of India and not the Bankok or Malaysia where ordinary people go for holidays. Soon only the rich will make a statement by going to Goa. It will be a status symbol of class and style to be seen in Goa. People like you and me will only be seen at Juhu beach or Bandstand.😁😁😁

Not rude for all tourists, But especially for north Indian, visitors behave irresponsibly, as if being on vacation gives them the freedom to disregard rules or be inconsiderate.

Relatable, I had a similar experience last year when I brought 9 foreign tourists to Goa. I booked a luxury bus from a well-known operator, but they sent an old, non-luxury bus instead. I was shocked when I saw the bus at the airport and the operator made excuses when I confronted them. I was left with no choice but to bear the inconvenience. Goa desperately needs professionalism . It's right time Goans should treat tourists with the respect they deserve - as honored guests, not just sources of income. A little hospitality and genuine care can go a long way in making Goa an unforgettable destination for visitors.

Let's be honest. Goa is not at all pretty. Compared to the pristine blue and emerald beaches across the world, Goan beaches are like filthy, smelly ponds. The only reason Russian and Israeli tourists would flock here in the past was the low cost. But since much prettier beach destinations across the world have become affordable and attractive, Goa has gone on decline and will continue to. Regarding this drug thing, well, the remaining young Indian tourists that continue to visit Goa go there primarily for alcohol and drugs. Let's just face the truth. Goa was never worth it and just blown out of proportion in the past.

Thank you for your 2 rs advice.....But truth is Everyone wants a piece of Goa. They want to visit, relax, and enjoy what the state has to offer. While there are genuinely good tourists who come to have a great time and respect the place, many lack civic sense. Some visitors behave irresponsibly as if being on vacation gives them the freedom to disregard rules or be inconsiderate. If anyone questions their behavior, they’re quick to label Goa or Goans as the problem. Foreign tourism, which once thrived, has significantly declined. A major reason for this is the overcrowding of popular spots with tourists who often lack awareness about respecting local culture and norms. For instance, many foreign tourists feel uncomfortable due to excessive staring, particularly on beaches, which were once known for their relaxed, quiet, and natural vibe. Overcrowding, especially on Goa's most popular beaches, has detracted from this charm.

I live outside India and visited Chile and Brazil recently over two weeks. I did not face any major issues despite not knowing their respective languages at all (Spanish and Portuguese). In Chile, I was mostly hiking in a national park. In Brazil, I went to couple of big cities Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo and a town in between them called Paraty. Hotel staff was professional (and could speak English mostly), no overcharging, traffic was very disciplined (except motorcycle riders), did not feel the pollution despite lot of cars on the road in big cities, locals those who could speak English were friendly (many people can't), but I frequently communicated using google translate as well. Fairly good cleanliness, no stray dogs, buses (private) were cheap and safe and always departed on time (even overnight journeys). Major tourist spots were efficiently managed. In Brazil, you can get scammed in big cities by cab drivers, fruit vendors etc but these things are avoidable. I did see lot of homeless in couple of areas in Sao Paulo. Absolutely loved the live music at their restaurants though 🎶 I have never been to Goa and these issues seem much worse than what I've heard. Unfortunately, Indian tourism as a whole has gone downhill. One important point this episode missed is increasing rac ism against Indians on social media. It will definitely impact tourism further especially with issues like women's safety unless the government does serious course correction.

[@amols101]

Edit: For those interested, the name of the park in Chile was Torres Del Paine national park. Of course, it's quite a bit of flying distance from India (first Santiago, then Puerto Natales). But even from the US west coast, it's a 17 hour flight minimum. But yes, if you are into hiking and can afford it, you will love the experience!

Every tourist destination in India feels the same. They are not very family-friendly, and it often feels like everyone is trying to exploit you-be it hotels, taxis, or local guides, who approach you persistently even when you don’t need them. If you do hire a guide, they may pass you off to someone else, and the cycle of exploitation continues. Peaceful sleep in hotels can be a concern due to worries about hidden cameras. Locals sometimes treat tourists as if they are enemies (although some tourists themselves lack civic sense and create disturbances). Overall, visiting as a family can feel more like torture than a holiday. However, if you are an experienced traveler who knows how to handle these challenges, it’s manageable. Instead of feeling like a vacation, it becomes more of an opportunity to showcase your survival skills.

visited Goa in 2019 and the first thing that struck me was how expensive the taxi prices were. I booked a Taxi on Ola in my city in the morning. Home to airport was 841 (41 KMS) on an air conditioned cab (Toll price included). When I landed in Goa Airport in the evening, Ola / Uber wasn't available and had to book a prepaid taxi from airport to hotel and it was 1250 (42 Kms in a non airconditioned cab). The hotel did not have my reservation when I arrived (I had booked the room weeks in advance and even called them the day before by departure to confirm). Since I arrived at 5 PM, they thought I may not turn up and passed my room to another party. Made us wait for 30 mins after which they gave us a shabby room with no bright lights. Only one dim night light was on. Upon further argument, they replaced the bulbs and cleaned my room. They never cleaned the room once after that during my 5 days of stay there. The breakfast included with the hotel booking was a little more than "Fried Matter". Couldn't find much cheaper street food options like in Pattaya / Sri Lanka or Bangkok. when we visited Calangute beach in the evening, it was so crowded and chaotic. When we approached a recliner in a shack, the owner of the shack said we could only use the shack if we ordered food / drinks worth 1000 or above . we had to order drinks and food just to have a place to sit as the beach was so crowded and it was practically impossible to sit anywhere else. and the couple of hours we used the recliner for, the temporary tattoo guys kept taunting us to buy. On top of that, the hotel staff kept offering us "dolphin tour packages" although we repeatedly kept denying. We researched some of the blogs and found that Calangute had a bus connectivity to airport and booked tickets for the same on Yatra. While we were waiting for the bus at the designated pick up spot, around 3 cab guys one after the other came over and requested we use their services. When we declined, stating that we had light a luggage and that we were waiting for the airport bus, they gave a strange look. I swear all 3 gave a similar look. When other batches of tourists started to arrive, they did the same with them too. Not sure how things are now.. But then most shops demanded cash payments only, although UPI had become mainstream in 2019. Luckily, we were spared the bike rental scams (about which I heard a lot, but thankfully did not experience) as we booked a bike thru our hotel.

Right... Touting has become a massive problem not just in Goa but any tourist destination in India. People want to be left in peace on a vacation not harried up or rustled.

The driver will accept the Booking, arrive at location and then ask me to cancel the booking and take the trip offline. In coimbatore, it's a different case altogether. The ola and uber (no matter auto, bike or cab) use the platforms as realtime classifieds page to connect to the customer..the app has no other use for them. They will accept the booking, call you and fix their own prices, they don't care what the price comes up on screen. Only after u accept their terms they will show up. Else, they will straight away ask you to cancel and not waste their time. When I booked an OLA from racecourse to radison, the fare came up as 250. The driver called me up and said that the fare would be 800. That's more than 3 times the price shown. He was like, "sir I'm the driver not you, not Ola.

What remains are these non goans and locals who have filled the space vacated are sometimes unsavory. With the COVID, local tourists filled the space vacated by the foreign tourists.

When I asked her what the matter is, she replied saying that all the localities to whom she asked anything were too rude. this is generally seen only in north Goa after you cross porvorim. South goans don't want any drugs or sunburn in their district as it is a very nature friendly zone with hospitable people who welcome everyone.

In 2012 i had spent 22k in sri lanka for almost a week, that too via flight from bangalore. But in the same year i spent 30k in goa for almost 5 days, via bus from bangalore. Goa is too expensive.

[@salambagais]

Noticed this since 2016 Dubai is much better Abu Dhabi is even better than Dubai, Masqat is good and peaceful, Stopped spending on tourism in India Felt not welcoming not only in Goa, but in Chennai, Pondicherry, Bombay, Gurgaon, Agra, Delhi, Mysoor, Bangalore, Vishakapatnum, Mahabaleshwar, Jaipur, Fatehpur, Dehradun, Nagpur, Rishikesh, tired of counting The only places that felt welcomed were Munnar, Ooty, Hyderabad, Why should a person spent money to torture himself

[@rajesh_624]

Kerala is very welcoming. it is expensive in a straight forward way.

I am a student in BITS Pilani Goa and I agree locals who are in tourist related businesses tend to be rude but other people in non tourist related roles are very friendly

[@AmarMax_III]

If you are Some visitors who behave irresponsibly, as if being on vacation gives them the freedom to disregard rules or be inconsiderate. If anyone questions their behavior, they’re quick to label Goa or Goans as the problem.

[@SayanPaul3600]

@@AmarMax_III I agree and I have seen many people who act very rude with the lodge owners and other places it's sad but it also happens the other way around. Actually the connect between the locals and the tourists have been strained so much that people have forgotten to enjoy the beautiful nature of Goa. The fact about Goa Miles I have faced personally , our college is in South Goa near the Dabolim airport but the Taxi Mafia is so strong that when I book a Cab through Goa Miles I have to board the cab in such a place so that the other taxi owners cannot see this happening.

I am planning to visit turkey in April. It will hardly cost me 1-1.25 lakh with all activities and good hospitality. In India, if I plan to visit Jodhpur or other cities,flights are 14-15K and tour will cost me 40-50k for the same period. Why the hell I will spend around 50-60k for such pathetic tourism.Hence, it’s good to visit foreign countries. N.B: if you visit Vietnam,Thailand,etc. then it will cost almost similar to any indian city package.

[@NativeIndian1310]

@@bharatmishra250 yes. Turkish Lira is now degraded. Return flight is around 30-40K. Visa 17K, if u have Schengen visa then e visa is 3-4K. Rest depends on how you spend. Istanbul u can tour for 30-40k with accommodation for 4-5 days. But it also depends on how many cities u r visiting. Capadoccia is costlier, as its hot air balloon activity will cost 22k in peak season. Also depends whether u r visiting via which travel agency or travelling alone as an explorer. So, 1-1.25 lakh is sufficient for atleast Istanbul and cappadocia for 4-5 days with return flights and visa.

Definitely outside India. I have been to Goa 4 times in the last 10 years and I can tell you things are completely out of hand there and no Goan is ready to provide genuine service to tourists. feel so sad that a dream destination turned out to be a terrible vacation for many people. Wish government was sensible enough to make Goa a real Dream Destination for the world.

[@alani3992]

Its not Goans, its a large amount of migrants.

I dont understand how any sensible government doesn't curb scams. I don't understand how any sensible hotel doesn't understand that scams will drive away tourists in the long run. And I'm shocked that taxi apps are not operated in Goa of all places. This is heartbreaking.

Govt cant do anything. There is a shift in tourism. People are tired of Goa taxi mafias and costly hotels.

[@HENDE_C7]

As a hotelier from Goa, we need to change our policies to make goa a much better tourist destination if we want to compete with international destinations. But sad to say goa is loosing it's charm due to over construction and heavy urbanization. The Goa which i loved 10 years ago has completely gone. On top of it the surging cost of rent, salaries and govt fees and taxes make it even difficult for us to sustain.

[@seeratarora3973]

This last year I went to both Goa and Thailand in a span of 3 months. I can see why people are avoiding Goa from the overpriced hotels, and the polluted beaches to the ride encounters with the taxi drivers. Thailand was so much better and was value for money.

[@Mokian-d5e]

It's heartbreaking to see that Goa, once a tourist paradise, is losing its charm. Tourists are leaving because of the way some of us treat them. Instead of working together to improve, we are pointing fingers at each other-locals blaming migrants, and our leaders dismissing it as a conspiracy. As citizens of this country, we need to step up, take responsibility, and work towards a better future for all. Let's show kindness, patience, and respect to everyone, so we can rebuild Goa and make it a welcoming place once again. It's time to stop the blame game and start making positive changes

Well, I watched the video 2 days before i went goa and this is my 4th time. When i went for second time, we took a thar for rent and were not much familiar with the people in goa, everything went great until we returned the vehicle (at margoa) and they spotted a new microscopic scratch on the vehicle and took 8,000 at the time from and started harassing, showing rowidsm and other stuffs! Well yesterday i went again for the 4th time and took a scooter which with the same issue got 3,200 extra payment near Calangute beach, a rent bike (not shop, not any registered thing) opposite to royal wines. Here are the things about Goa:- 1. Filled with varieties of scammers 2. Non welcoming local people 3. Terrible transportation facilities 4. High cost for everything (even a water bottle with mrp 20 is sold from a range of 30 - 100) 5. Sometimes heavily crowded 6. Traffic police focusing on travellers And much more.... At the end i wouldn't recommend people to go Goa as the old heavenly goa has turned into a great scamming spot of india !

My 2 different friend groups just recently went on a trip to celebrate New years, one went to Goa their per person cost was 40k for 5 day trip, other went to Vietnam and Malaysia 10 day trip and their cost was 50k per person including flights, after seeing this why a person in their right mindset would prefer Goa and not Vietnam and Malaysia and also the bragging rights of a "foreign trip". Also Thailand trip also costs somewhat around the same and most of the times it is cheaper flight tickets to Bangkok than Delhi to Goa
