    Dont go to Goa! This must be the most run down resort in the world,Garbage everywere,Beaches are unclean.Taxis charge what ever they like.30 Brititish touristists die there every year.The government of Goa is one of the most corrupt in the world,and is generally anti forreiner...Maleria and dengue fever is at epidemic proportions particulary in the North,Candolim and Calangute .Is now not a cheap destination and sure to dissapoint.Rivers are polluted above normal limits with e coli.The famous Goan smile masks a devious methed to extract your money or if u r female your dignity as well.Infrastucture is basically zero since no money is pumped into tourism,I could go on,but this resort(I use the word loosely)should be boycotted until they get their act together

    Dear dontgotogoa,

    You are right... please do not come here again. Goa is not for you.

    Your statistics are all wrong. Health centres, police stations, and the tourism dept. will validate this.

    You were right about one thing, though... Goa is NOT A CHEAP DESTINATION.

    THANK YOU FOR FINALLY WAKING UP.

    Dear dontgotogoa,

    Thanks a ton for highlighting the nuinsance created by tourists , i am not sure if you are one of them. These are the ones responsible for the unclean beaches, polluted rivers & garbage litter. As a goan passionate about his state, i too feel bad about the state of affairs with regards to corruption ( better by any standards to other states ). That is the same resilience and tolerance we have shown as a people to the 'outsiders' or 'biknekars' coming and setting up the real estate and construction business in our state making the place more expensive to live in and causing all the water collections areas with their construction activities for dengue and malaria transmitting mosquitoes to breed. Regarding our integtrity and that of our females, we are not hypocrites. We are a honest and straightforward people, and there are always bad apples in a basket. By the way all of the prostitutes in Baina are from outside states. I do believe a movement is about to begin in Goa and then the Goan will assert himself. I agree with ingridryna, PLEASE DO NOT STEP INTO GOA.

    Hi dontgotogoa,
    True, Please don't come here. We are fed up with all kinds of people coming to Goa and screwing up this once beautiful place.
    As for infrastructure, we're quite happy with what we have. It can be improved but you don't have to worry your head over it - just keep away from Goa.

    Goa is one of the most beautiful places I have visited, because of its people and its nature.
    "Don´t Go to Goa" you call this state a "resort"?! Only that indicates where you are coming from.
    Goa is not a resort where people (like you?) are to come and get whatever you want and leave a bad footprint.
    Goa is a home to many people, people who care about their environment and are fighting against exploatation.

    I say "Go To Goa and respect the place and its people" than you will have a real pleasant stay.
    I support this organizations work with all my heart.

    /A foreign tourist
    Thankful People: realgoa

    So why don't you take his post as constructive criticism? its this attitude thats responsible for Goa's mess.

    For instance taxis do charge what they want. Why don't you petition the government to regulate taxis and make them use meters like anywhere else in the world?

    Dear All, i can't understand your points and totally not agree at all, think before write "if " tourist not come to Goa then from where Goan will get easy money and high standard of life? it's very stupid point don't come to Goa, and it's free contrary, nation and only due to high tourist inflow Goans are getting business, but i think they don't want to work only sleep, eat and doing NOTHING, life is not only for that if some person have problem others help him to get sorted out but in case of this who can ? May be it's right in term of life in shell."it was quite a 'kue ka mendak' syndrome.". !! every one free and when tourist is come at your doorstep you smile and ask yes what can i help, i don't believe in Hippocrates. Many Thanks!!! wish you wonderful evening! Regds Mark
