I went to Goa years ago and decided never to return.
For a state that heavily relies on tourism, you'd expect locals to be welcoming. However, the reality is quite the opposite. The unfriendly locals, taxi mafia, overpriced hotels, and uninviting atmosphere are major deterrents.
From the locals' perspective, they blame their hostile attitude on unruly tourist behavior—especially NCR gangs known for drunken driving, fights, disturbing neighborhoods, and making women feel unsafe. While this is absolutely valid, as we see such gangs behaving similarly at nearly all popular tourist spots across India, it doesn’t justify hostility toward all visitors.
Goa’s tourism industry needs a serious overhaul. The police should enforce strict surveillance and adopt a zero-tolerance policy against disruptive tourists. Simultaneously, the administration must dismantle the taxi mafia and curb exploitative practices by hotels and businesses.
Without these reforms, Goa risks losing its status as a top tourist destination.

I've truly enjoyed @goindigo flights. And choose it over others all the time.
Recently though purchasing aisle and window seats have been tedious. And more so with random, irritating co-passengers.
Not gonna purchase seats but will have sharper elbows in future.
@Khaki_Tours It was an amazingly curated walk. A tad bit long (enough content for two walks, in fact) but full of history and love for the land.
Absolutely adored the time with you.
