Hi Kaur, Congratulations for this video. How Indian tourist have behaved in other parts of the world mentioned honestly by you . You also live in Goa and feel invaded by tourists or ill mannered people around your neighbourhood. How should a Native Goan feel growing up freely in their neighbourhood,visiting seashore with friends during school holidays or otherwise but now there is not a single place to walk peacefully in your own neighbourhood ?. In Goa before 1985 there were no murders ,begging,rapes and unruly people. We lived in clean Goa with peace and harmony. A person from Delhi or Gujurat is not Delhite and Gujurati?. If Goans call a person an Outsider who is settled in Goa is wrong and why?. I had my school mates from Karnataka and Kerala settled soon after Goa's Invasion by Indian army and there was never ever a slight differences or a problem because they accepted our tradition,culture and way of life. Regrettably today some of the settlers don't behave or even think they should impose their tradition,culture,nasty habits etc on Goans,perhaps they think money talks. Don't get offended by reality and if you respect Natives then they would respect you more.

Tourist etc are vultures destroying Goa.. also every non goan should understand that if u make Goa like your states... Its beauty and uniqueness will be gone... Plus its sad that outsiders come n spoil Goa, exploit it and later speak against Goans who have built Goa by their love n beautiful culture. Please also try to improve your states so we can visit your states.

Very fair and balanced view ma’am … hats off to you. The resentment is real and is largely about disrespect for the locals and their way of life. By nature Goans are warm and welcoming to people who understand courtesy and respect local ways

The resentment is towards Delhi and up Bihar bhaiyyas

All said and done, goa does not have a healthy public transport system. the local buses are barely available. Then goa-miles cabs are not even allowed to pickup from areas in north goa. While goa-miles is a company staffed by localites. If Posh and wealthy settlers are coming to goa, it’s goams who are selling the properties and land to the highest bidder, then oater complain that the buyers are harming goan life. When they see someone is a tourist , they charge ₹2 for a ₹1 match box. Goans take tourists for granted and exploit them as much as tourists are a menace to the goan ecosystem. Even in beaches, you can but beers from shacks, but you cannot drop it in the dustbin of another shack. The scooty and car rentals are a big source of issues. One of my friend got a scooty without a brake in the rear-wheel.

Some Goan emigrants also express that they are made to feel like outsiders. Thanks for this. video.

Just remember the Shaheen Bagh and Farmer protests where thousands of protesters blocked the national highways in Delhi-NCR for months together totally oblivious to the immense suffering and hardships common citizens faced.

I totally agree with you, they come in busses cooks besides the road and after eating leave all disposable plates and plastic glasses on that spot. Once I caught two busses from Andra Pradesh and made them to clean the area before they leave that spot.

Hard relate! Same situation in the hills in the north. I don’t want irresponsible tourists to visit Himachal! And want the government to put stricter rules and regulations to curb negative impacts of tourism! And to curtail some of it! But no one pay the heed! 😢

Add kerala's idukki ( munnar) and wayanad into the list.

In Goa the taxi mafia has completely decimated their transportation system, internet connectivity is decent in some high footfall locations whilst a huge problem everywhere else, their education system hasn't changed for decades, they never diversified their economy or built decent infrastructure even for their own people over the years, it isn't even the largest cashew producing state (that's maha and Kerala) , and experiences massive brain drain every year. Goans have allowed goa to crumble and so within the larger context of self-imposed economic decline dunking on North Indian tourists seems a bit self-righteous, they seem like an easy target. You'd think that if 45% of your jobs come from tourism Goa would place dustbins everywhere in the state? But no! Goans are the first to complain and the last to take responsibility. Yes! Some tourists can be problematic but there are states with higher tourism rate and they simply don't complain as much. Better plan vacations to places that are cheaper and provide better services, Goans want to charge first world rates for third class experiences. No thank you!

Settling on our land, tho you have bought it and treating Goans like dirt and not respecting our land and its rules is not acceptable

Overtourism is wreaking havoc on the post card location. It is having a negative social, economic and environmental impact. Land is a prized resource in India to which financial security, social standing and emotions are attached.

We need to stop treating each Indian State as "Specia". Punjabis don't like outsiders, Bengalis dont like outsiders, Goans don't like outsiders. By this Logic, Even we Hindus don't ;ike Outsiders. Why were we fored to accept Muslims and other Minorities in ourNation afer 1947 ?

Landsharks have helped the beingtakars when it comes to thriving and changing Goa’s topography.

Tragedy of the commons is a real thing.

Much needed.

Madam, upbringing counts. The northern public thing they are above board. The locals are right and need to protect themselves.

Every Hotel in Europe has a tourist tax to be paid on arrival, so it is not an issue. What is different here is the fact that the panchayat is checking your hotel booking before you enter, no doubt difficult because, you may be staying with your relative in Benaulim and visiting Calanugte. Maybe it would be a better idea to charge every tourist entering Goa a tax and hope that the money is used for infrastructure to keep Goa clean. Conversely as happened in the pandemic, tourist preferred to apy a fine and not wear a mask, here they may assume it is a license to throw garbage as they have paid for the clean up. What goans dislike is the culture of corruption is being brought from outside to Goa, pay authorities and take whatever you wish even if it is illegal.

U would wear half lungi, no problem but so much judging when women just wear half pants at beaches. Why should men have all the fun in water Such backward tamils . No wonder why these tamil migrants are made fun of even in America

Its the "tourist" mentality. Not knowing the rules of the land. We have all seen the recent viral reel of a Indian Jungle wildlife Safari encountering a tiger....the tourist lady in jeep screams on top her voice..."bhaiya chalo....bhaiya ho gaya...chalo..." all this while the tiger is approaching them..! Point being, people forget that they're on foreign land.... Outside of their familiar zone....and behave exactly the way they would in their personal space . The same applies to tourism elsewhere. They blatantly ignore local rules and regulations. Making them a menace to the surroundings. So, if they lack self awareness, its best for govt to step in and impose some. Im a Maharashtrian, who has had the privelage to move to Goa.. Panjim for work (hospital staff) back in 2015. But then, coming back this year 2024......the place feels completely overun by crowds...high prices, hardly any shopkeepers speaks any Marathi.... High level of Police checks ... Overspeeding vespas.... doesn't feel like the Goa it used to be. The only time it feels like Goa..... is when you choose to ignore the chaos and focus on the lush greenery and coconut trees and beautiful skies..and southern beaches. They still have the same tranquil feeling about it. That hasn't changed.I sincerely hope and prey Goa's natural beauty stays intact.

Littering is an integral part of indian society. We have the worst cities due to the same. We can only fix it with education with which median wages rise to beyond a certain point when people can choose their battles such as holding onto their trash until they find a bin

Budget tourists are messing up the place at Calangute.. Truck loads come & start cooking around , even by road side... Beer bottles are strewn all over crushed by motorists, broken on beach side causing cuts to other tourists.. 😢loud music played disturbing the residents.. Drink & vomit very sickening.. Now goans too are not very hospitable like before.. 😢😢.

Nicely articulated & narrated “facts” 💯 Sense of entitlement must go. Folks Must!! be responsible & have an empathy that all irresponsible visitors must carry symbiotic & not parasitic!!! Finally laws laws & tough laws with harsher punishment no matter how connected. Rowdy behavior understands or fear only lathi nothing else - nationwide

Amazing take, I strongly agree with empathise with the localities - Goa has changed for the worse and the localities feel that they're losing their culture and space. The entitlement of tourists is not very different from the entitlement of migrants who've come to Bangalore in the last 10-15 years. The last sentence is the icing on the cake!

The need of the hour is to educate the tourists and more so for the Goans to remove the malice towards their brethren from other states of India . Agreed that Cleanliness is next to Godliness and must be followed . However taxing your tourists and differentiating between the rich and the poor tourists is not good . Remember the arrogant Goans will have to pay a price for their own selfish interests. There are millions of other Goans depending on tourists for their livelihood.

This tragedy is happening in Ladakh too.

All the states of India who have foreign / outsider tourists must do this and the funds should go to help pay to improve local communities - such as free education, free transportation, free internet, free libraries etc.

Good initiative, if it is not discriminatory against Indians. I’m saying this because I’ve noticed some really weird things done by some local restaurant owners by the beach. Some of them sell and do drugs with foreigners , especially Russians. Also, every city has issues, big issues! Goa isn’t alone. Glad people are stepping up take care of them.

We should also Tax people from this village if they visit any other State including this Journalist.

You Up, Biharis can't do anything, so stop dreaming.

I will always hold Goa with a lot of fondness, but imo it went to hell about 20 odd years ago... Calangute was a rubbish heap around 2000... My beloved Vagator and Anjuna soon followed suit... TBH the day the ferry was replaced by the bridge at Siolim the whole of North Goa went to hell... I stopped going pretty much since 2010, my main problem was it was ruined by people like yourself... Interesting to note that now you are having similar feeling 15 years later... Whatever man, keep saying what makes you happy

Its sad to see Calangute turn to a shit hole..same a like Bangalore..so we know how that feels.

Im from delhi , im with goa ... If one cant keep our country clean dont travel... Ppl should be banned from getting hotels ...

Honestly we need the money from these additional taxes to pay for keeping Goa sustainable so that future generations can also enjoy our state. Bali also has a tourist tax. It’s not because we despise tourists but because we understand the importance of sustaining the cash cow. Goa is also doing the same simply because we have to do so to clean the beaches and ensure a certain level of law and order is maintained. All kinds of tourists come right from the wealthy to people coming to Goa on their first holiday. All are welcome but paying this tax is purely survival. Law and order will be necessary long term as well to ensure Goa continues to have the high level of safety it has to prevent lawlessness. Costa Rica was highly sought after but lawlessness ruined a beautiful place. Goa needs to maintain a balancing act of having a certain level of freedom where the illicit stuff happens with some supervision but also ensure death and injury to life is mitigated like Thailand. In short, it’s not because we hate but because we understand it’s in our interest to do so.

The solution should come from government. Bringing solution at panchayat level would be a challenge

Taxis/ hotels are scam in Goa. Just because of tourism I feel they are overcharging. I recently was in Goa and had Idli and Vada for breakfast, the price of which was costlier than Rameshwaram hotel in Bangalore. Auto charged was too more almost equivalent of my train ticket back to Bangalore. Now if you not allowed to enter beach without hotel reservations then tourism might take a hit

Don't be so dramatic. The situation is not that bad. Littering should be controlled by the police but there is no one on the beach to issue fines.

Beg to differ, we should know that littering is not correct. That is not the job of the policemen. I think you should know this. Adults should know this. Can well imagine where they’re coming from.

Very comprehensive and just view of the present situation in Goa

Very interesting. Captures very well a moment in time in the evolution of popular culture. Viva La Goa!

You should make a follow up video about the assagao demolition where a Goans house was demolished by and North Indian IRS officers wife. 10 crores is what they paid. How did a government servant earn 10cr. And the best part: he got the DGP to get the job done. Goan blood is boiling

Beautifully summarised, you made a good point Madam. You spoke something very real and important.

Print really needs to spend more on graphics and focus on making the presentation catchy.

Are you a 10 year old kid who has trouble listening to words adn comprehending them in English? You're probably used to instagram which is designed to reduce people's IQ.

when we Goans migrate to other countries , we follow the rules of that country and pay high taxes. so stop comparing Migrants coming to Goa and people who legally migrate to foreign countries. Get your facts right lady. Maybe you should travel out of India and see for yourself.

Same situation happening in namma bengaluru. You should also make a video on migration in bengaluru.

Respectfully I totally agree with your excellent reporting as a Goan my deepest gratitude

Same with littering in himachal Pradesh and uttarakhand, in mountain areas you will see patches where Indian tourists have littered plastic cups and other rubbish ruining the scenery. This is a countrywide issue, anti-littering, garbage disposal, sanitation and recycling should be thought in schools from a young age!!!!!

There a lots of decent families who want to visit Goa for vacations but do no visit Goa because of bad public transport and rickshaws and taxis not using meters. That is why you have many rich tourists who come with their vehicles or rent vehicles and create a nuisance and litter the place. If Goa wants tourism to help the economy then first get the transport system sorted out. Make all rickshaws and taxis strictly use meters. I have been to Goa and wanted to explore some places in the south of Goa but couldn't because the public transport shuts by 7:30 pm.

There is a history behind cultural behaviours-People from North are loud,brash etc because of more than a thousand years of wars,migration,partition and immigration while people south of Vindhyas are always resentful of outsiders because they have remained comparatively insulted-the hate towards outsiders is not unique to Goa-see the comment section in any video regarding Bangalore/Kannada,mumbai/Marathi,chennai/Tamil and the constant hostility is seen towards outsiders.by the way Agra,jaipur,delhi have more tourists every year than Goa but never heard of them cribbing about tourists.Anyways in the global economy that we are headed towards no local community anywhere in the world is going to remain in majority in their own state-look at UAE-local population is less than 10% of the population.But yes Goa has a right to make laws to protect the public places !

Implement all these new laws and regulations which will reduce tourism Are local Goans ready to take this hit ???

Every tourist destination in the world has this problem. What about the fact that Goa's economy has benefited to the a huge extent with all this money coming in?

Why don't the Goan Panchayats think of this when allowing so much of construction for tourists accommodation and building shacks and shops... ask the business owners big and small to take the responsibility of keeping their respective areas clean.. half the problem will be solved. For the tourist behavior.. implement fines for public nuisance.

Stop trashing Goa and its policies. Its a common practice across the world to pay for using a facility in tourist areas. All of you types happily pay in Spain , Bermuda, etc etc. See the numbers in India. Ofcourse the Panchayats should charge a fee. Common sense.

I guess, all states should adopt this mechanism. 90% indians do not have basic etiquettes of travel and trekking. Littering is taken for granted be it cities or touristy places. Regarding migration, i guess strong rational procedures are required from state's end since it challenges Right to Movement and settlement of citizens. However, this right to move and settle has become a bone of contention in many cities across the country owing to differential development in the BIMARU belt as compared to NE and Southern states.

Very well put out video . I pass by parra road every day and what you said is very true

It is the sense of entitlement bred into children in many parts of our society that is to blame. This is manifest in every aspect of conduct in the civic space. Consideration for others - such a basic and necessary attribute of character - is conspicuous in its absence, almost anywhere one looks.

I have watched Goa's culture withering away with each passing day (sadly), there is a high influx of people coming from Maharashtra and some from Karnataka too. Which is why we are getting to see so many statutes of Shivaji Maharaj. Picking on the tourists is a catastrophic blunder, the only money that is being generated for common Goa folk is from tourism. Even the poorer tourists coming in busses and tempos too bring in money , they will end up buying fuel, liquor, some food stuff and other, essentials. This money is from whichever state they come from and now becomes part of Goas economy. We should look to make camping sites for such tourists and charge them for use of those sites. Even the (favorite punching bag) Delhi folk, when they buy houses, it is Delhis money flowing into Goa, we should see that we promote Goa builder rather then the builders coming from Pune and Bombay.

Delhi black money being pumped into Goa real estate

Yes great initiative.

It's the Indian mindset. Heck I'm from the NE and there are lots of Biharis and Bengalis over here. They tend to segregate even amongst themselves, with the Biharis living together separately and likewise with the Bengalis. Most Biharis don't even bother to learn the local language and expect everyone to speak hindi. In Karbi Anglong, a group of Biharis deleted a local karbi man when they were asked to vacate a plot of land they occupied illegally, leading to chaos. I noticed the same thing among indians outside india in countries like the Philippines, Singapore where indian dominated localities are the dirtiest.

Karanjeet Kaur, glad to read your excellent report on the current issues plaguing gorgeous Goa. Although my family and I now live abroad, we know very well that it's key that residents of Goa and visitors opt to coexist and together help Goa to continue to be a welcoming and upbeat destination. Ms Kaur, thanks for your push to get visitors keep my birthplace clean - with no more littering.

Reverse mode now. But disciplining them and a free go its getting out of proportion is needed to be controlled

India need serious revolutions to enlighten Indians about cleanliness and Morality

She should talk about Goa cab mafia charging a bomb to the tourists from outside. Its a double standard when your economy on one hand survives on tourism, and on the other hand you want to loot the same people.
