The main reason - traveling in India is not pleasant. Most people complain about not being able to even walk on the Indian streets peacefully! Why? 1. No footpaths to walk 2. Constant honking on the streets 3. Harassment to buy useless stuff / harassment by homeless people 4. Random people harassing you to take selfies 5. Trash everywhere 6.

But it's up to the Indian people to keep the environment clean. I m shocked, how dirty Kolkata is. Not littered by government. No! It's littered by the people.

You are right, this is the the number 1 issue i've found with all foreigners in India regardless of the country or nationality. I'm also a foreigner and have visited there more than once. Hygiene and washrooms and the prices don't match the results you end up with. The taxi issues are a problem globally so this isn't that big a problem. The tourist accommodations and hygiene however don't meet the demands in India when you compare them to other countries like Thailand or Vietnam since the price range is similar in all 3 countries.

I just returned from 26 days in India, and unfortunately, the beaches are dirty, with the entrances to the beaches being even worse. You can find plastic, glass, paper, and all kinds of trash everywhere. Taxi fares are very high, and ride-hailing apps are not widely available. Hotels are substandard for the price, which is often unreasonably high. Roads are in poor condition, and scams are common. Hygiene standards in restaurants are very low. We frequently had to ask for soap to wash our hands, and the toilets were so dirty that we often returned to our hotel just to use the restroom. Footpaths, where they exist, are not clean or properly maintained. There’s constant honking and loud music, adding to the overall chaos. Hygiene is poorly maintained almost everywhere we ate. Indians seem to litter without concern, and the government fails to clean public spaces or provide adequate dustbins. Even tourist attractions are poorly maintained, which is disheartening to see. We are deeply disappointed and do not plan to return, even though we used to visit every year. If India wants to attract tourists, the government needs to hire international consultants and implement proper changes urgently. Otherwise, the slogan ‘Incredible India’ will lose its meaning entirely.
I knew this would happen, just a matter of time. Disrespect of women, corruption, bribery, FRRO, greed, unsanitary, even mafia & gangstas even in villages, etc. Imagine visiting a country and having to file a crime report/FIR. Shameful. Sad for the children and women living there. Karma is here! Cleanse.
4 years back instead of goa we opted for 9 day trip to krabi Island. What a mesmerising place it was. Super clean beaches even the public washroom were damn clean, no litter on beaches on even on pathways, no loud tourist, plus its was not that expensive .In india trust me nowdays flights, hotels, restaurants are charging exorbitant prices. You won't find a single area without trash . I have many friends who are from Europe and USA they rarely wanna visit India again. They now mostly travel to Sri Lanka, Laos, Thailand for longer period of time.
@Samurai-ke5ie no we never did it there and in india also we never do. It's my country and me and my family give our best. We went to bird sanctuary in gujrat we had lil food but got all trash and dumbed it in the bin placed at sanctuary. We talked softly so birds don't get panicked or scared . We love our country but india need super strict rules and people need civic sense both.
India is like an active combat zone. Everywhere you go, it feels like a bomb went off there 3 minutes ago. Its just utter chaos. The event horizon , where the laws of physics breaks down. Combine the lack of order and organization with the complete lack of sanitation and citizens totally oblivious of civic sense, and overt corruption, makes india a tough tourist destination. Tourists are taking their well deserved vacation time and spending hard earned money. So why should they go to a place of disorder and lack of basic cleanliness? There is no tranquility anywhere in india. I wish it could be changed.
I came back from Thailand in October, by far best decision. Not just cheap but so clean and organized. I will never goto goa ever again, especially the taxi maifa.
I recently visited India after 14 years and was shocked by how much it had deteriorated. There was a pervasive sense of decay and disorganization. Sidewalks became cluttered with mini shrines, adding to the chaos. It’s not an experience most people would willingly want to repeat.
Ya, this uncle is stuck in patriotism. Talk about infrastructure and cleanliness and basic hygiene and civic sense. We are charging foreigners higher at tourist attractions.
I just returned from Goa and by god promise the infrastructure of Goa is in a mess. The roads are all dug up and all pot holes full of dust. The power is at all times are not there. Every where you see cows around on the streets. Pls you need to uplift things.
I can tell why the tourist is down in India from my own experience travelling to the country. A, the unprecedented level of pollution B, the pestering of the local gift shops in front of every attractions. I love local markets and I always visited them when I travelled to the areas. It was a nightmare to walk around anywhere in India and worst was in the market places. I was glad to have a chance to see India and its many palaces but it was an exhausted experience by the end.
Lol what about men safety? In Mumbai a woman can roam at night bt in usa, UK cities can't. Btw I stay in usa. And here after 8 pm roaming at night is not 100% safe.
Like Sir ji said...In Goa, there are no taxi apps like Ola & Uber..whereas in Thailand and Bali...Bolt & Grab are helping many foreigners... That's very important..Because Backpackers & Solo travelllers are also important in boosting tourism..hope INDIA more Scandanavian & Russian Tourists during Winters..
@Nandan: we just arrived from Goa after spending 8 days which we do every year, unfortunately beaches are dirty, litter everywhere you go, no clean footpaths to walk, Goa miles not working in almost all locations, prices of food and accommodation is very high for their sub standard services, roads are bad, honking, scams...many reasons which make Indians and foreigners consider visiting Goa.
What u expect from a country which failed to stop gutka😂😂. Also nyc, Tokyo, Amsterdam have more crowd than Mumbai, Delhi. Still many tourists roam there.
@@Sankkhamkar10 this! Tokyo with its size and population should be mega dirty and disorganized. But Japan is fantastic, despite the crowds, there is no chaos, no dirt. It ultimately comes down to the people and their culture.
Travelled in India for about one month and had to leave because of infection caused by dirty water. Nice place but just too dirty, however Indians themselves do not find this a problem somehow…sad
Sadly, this Goan fellow is still living in his own dream world which is "DENIAL MODE". This mindset will cause more and more harm to Goa tourism. Personally, I used to travel to Goa almost every alternate year. However, after seeing Thailand and Indonesia, I regret why didn't I go out of India before. Hooliganism of taxi drivers, poor value for money and unhygienic are the few who are going to destroy Goa even more in the future. With similar (or even less) money you get a mind-blowing experience, best-in-class service, hospitality, and cleanliness. Most importantly, Goa hype was created using Bollywood. Most of the people coming out from tier 1 or 2 cities got to know about Goa from Bollywood movies only. Time is ticking and if Bollywood also shifts to foreign locations, Goa will become a city with a lot of shut-down hotels.
An Indian friend in Kolkata on online said "Bollywood is India, and India is Bollywood". Many Indians are influenced by Bollywood movies and it's culture. What happened to Indian classical music? It seems many of the vocalists sing Bollywood movie songs, instead of their own lyrics.
I have been to India many times and love many aspects of the country and will go again but the infrastructure and lack of ease of travel makes me think twice.
Goa tourism has fallen thanks to the migrants from U. P, Bihar, Karnataka etc who learn konkani and scam the tourist and they think these people are locals. Also government has sold prime land to business man from Delhi, Mumbai etc who flot every rules build resort and charge heavy rates. I can go no and on
We were recently in India and found services 'wanting'. Travelled to Delhi via Mumbai, with Air India. At Mumbai Airport, we had to collect our luggage and RESUBMIT our luggage to connecting flight to Delhi!! Wow. Many issues arise when sightseeing, using local services, leaves much to be desired.
Typical chest beating and not acknowledging the real problem of dwindling tourism..what this guy is saying?russian charters are now going to Thailand Malaysia vietnam in larger numbers...it's a statistic.."we are running world economies our tourists"...it's because you have made domestic destinations so expensive that indians are. Touring international...plug that gap rather than shouting like an amateur
There are cleaner destinations than India. People in India do not realize the dirt and squalor around them is an issue. Who would want to visit an unorganized and dirty place?
Vietnam is"very clean".... The first thing Nandani mentioned! Yes, that is the thing that India needs to urgently address. It's just not acceptable, and now with increased domestic tourists, who have no idea about not polluting the environment.....😢 Also India is now focused on marriage venues, and NOT foreign tourism. Well what do you expect!
civic sense is part of those countries culture. They have nurtured their generations teaching civic sense. In India there is no civic sense and its not part of our culture.
THAILAND ECONOMY IS BOOMING FROM INDIANS....BUT INDIA TOURISM IS DECLINING BECAUSE OF HIGHER PRICES,DIRTY SURROUNDINGS,LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE,NO SAFETY FOR WOMEN
I'm a UK citizen and have just returned from a week's holiday over Christmas in Mumbai. India, we love you. I have visited India regularly over the last 30+ years. My wife and I love India, difficulties and all - please don't ever change. However, as much as we adore Goa (and have been many times) accommodation is now poor value for what you get. That needs to change our they will price themselves out of the market.
You need to visit other countries in that region.. it will blow your mind.. do go and visit Malaysia.. Indian food in Malaysia is better than in India.. even in Thailand Indian food is so much better.. same in Singapore with better hygiene than Switzerland.. people around the world now associate India with dirty food and filth.. India needs to just do it.. and stop talking.. all talk and no action is Indian culture
@@azharidris7092 Indian food in Thailand is better? WTF? I’ve been to many Indian restaurants in Thailand- it’s no where near as good as food in India! Malaysia is no better!

5 Days India = 1 Month Thailand India = Spiritual Destination only Thailand Indonesia Malaysia = Entertainment Enjoyment Hygiene Safety Security + Visa Free 👍
Uncle is talking nonsense. What is this BS about AI and search? Fix your toilets, take cows off the street, break the taxi mafia, and tell hotel chains to index their pricing to competing international locations. You should be ashamed that countries hundred times smaller are getting more tourists ( Singapore, etc.). Major tourist-based countries get numbers many multiples of their host population. A million tourists for a country with population of 1.5 billion ... pathetic
China has recently granted visa free status for 38 countries for up to 30 days, and transit visa exemption for 54 countries up to 240 hours. It really helped in attracting foreign tourists to visit China. India may consider the same measure.
I visited Manali and surround in Himachal recently. It's a paradise in terms of breathtaking scenes. Can easily rival Kashmir or Europe. However, some of the road infra is not good, garbage problems, lack of sensitizing the local trade and towns people. Air pollution in such a pristine Himalayan area is starting to affect badly even at a height of 7000 feet!! Visited the Lahaul- Spiti district, which is stunning and the amazing 'Atal Tunnel' at a height of 10,171 ft ....crisp air ....yet, the air inside the 9 km tunnel was full of diesel fumes and pollution! While the infra development is impressive these environmental and policy failures need to be addressed urgently!
Yes,I'm.Indian and I can say... Because of highr prices,and lack of civic sense,no waste management,No Clean Toilets for foreign tourists...too much dirty streets...
Srilanka and Thailand give indians free visa arrival on access. Even, now Russia has announced free visa on arrival access for Indians. So it's obvious that Indians will flock to these countries where they are getting same amount of hospitality in a similar price which they used to get in india
Why is Nobody talking about 1. Cleanliness in Indian cities and other tourist hotspots ? 2. about police harassing self-driving vehicles in Goa ? 3. scammers posing as touts and guides 4. Pollution caused by overtourism?
@pumbagaming6342 The citizens won't demand more if they are uneducated and haven't even seen what life in comfort in other countries can be like. The goverment loves it's uneducated

The Indian food bloggers who make dirty food street food vendors famous like that Indore wala kachhori and dolly chaiwala. Now these guys represent Indian street food industry.
Mr Goel has his facts and data perfectly. How can the host get a first time international traveller for her views Her trip to Vietnam cannot be compared to any trip in india because here one cannot get the same Vietnam type itinerary We do not cater to overnight boat stays We do not have the Bana hills bridge or Phu Quoc type beaches It’s chalk n cheese The taxi mafia in goa is internationally known and have let not just tourists but the people of india down Yet sone advocate to deny the same. I have stopped going to goa for Christmas from 7 years My Christmas destinations are Vietnam. Malaysia. Thailand which give me more value for the money and better infra hotels transport
But if state and central govt authorities are in denial of this stark reality , and continue with hollow Incredible India campaigns without doing any thing to address the rot in every aspect of touch points of tourists
I am on tour, just now with family of 3A+1Kid from Chennai to Alapuzzha and Vagamon it costed Rs.1 lac for 6 days trip that too by Train 3AC journey on both directions from Chennai to Kochi. Vagamon Hill station is fully crowded with traffic jams by private vehicles and one could not travel from one place to another. Central place of Kottayam is jammed with traffic and no road space. Only place less crowded was Kumarakom in Kerala. Being a middle class family after spending a good chunck of savings for tourism, India does not offer peaceful tourist locations.
Talk talk talk in this video and still missing the main points. Maybe they should read the comment section for true honest advises such as safety for women, constant harassment, pollution, disorganized/chaotic environment , cleanliness of the cities.....and much more. Potential International vistors are NOT stupid . They will research and see lots of TH-cam videos. Sometime the truth hurts but that how you learn as a country. Why would people spend their hard earn money to visit your country if you are in denial of the issues and just make excuses. Watching from Canada.
I agree with most of things that you said, but it’s not just India that is dirty. There are a lot of countries even Vietnam or Thailand is dirty maybe not as bad as India. It has been subjected to a lot of these videos like people like to start a trend of showing everything dirty in india. Mainly done by arab countries for siding with Israel. there are lots and lots of clean places in India, which are not shown that’s what’s causing the damage to India’s reputation
Ive wanted to go to India many times but have been talked out of it everytime by friends. Then i watched vloggers and it does really seem like a bad place to visit. The reason is as a family, we dont like tourist spots and want to visit local places and explore the life, food and culture of the locals. The problem in india is that it seems unsafe. From every houtuve video ive seen she would not feel safe there at all. The food seems like it can be quite dangerous to try the most local delicacies. It also seems rife with scammers, beggars and harassing mobs. The vehicle traffic also seems like utter chaos and traversing the country seems difficult due to poor infrastructure. For us its not about price. We go to singapore and Iceland and we go to Vietnam and Indonesia. But something about India has a much worse image than any of the other Asian countries we've travelled to, including cambodia. Ive still not been to india and can only go off of these travelloggers so I may be highly misinformed. But this is why Ive kept my family away. I do still want to travel their one day to see all the history and culture their but I think its something I'd do by myself or with some male friends only.
No you did the right thing and although your fears are not entirely true, it is a pretty unpredictable place. Like a jungle, it could be a memorable trip if you manage to come out fine with beautiful experiences or it could easily turn into a disaster.
I am a Singaporean woman who had just returned from a solo holiday in New Delhi and Jaipur. I have had a great time in India though many of my Singaporean friends will never go there. India suffers from image issues, real or perceived. India has a long way to change the world's impression of the country. By the way, the visa is quite an obstacle. For me, i am definitely going back again: to Mumbai and Jodhpur.
yes agree with you, just went to Pattaya in Thailand, everyone clean and tidy , only issue was some indian men urinating on the beach and some throwing rubbish on floor. they took their habits abroad. Thailand is beautifully clean, hardly any rubbish on floor, no issues with finding clean toilets everywhere. airport officals polite and no visa needed,
I’m Canadian, I have traveled India 11 times, yes the prices have gone up but the standard is still very low, nothing works correctly, beaches? Ya garbage is dumped directly onto the beach. Washrooms? Public washrooms in Delhi built for the commonwealth games across from the rail station where broken run down 6 months later, what a waste of time and money.
Appreciate for bringing this topic up for a discussion.I think more such public discussions should be on the rise to expose the filthy and corrupt politicians and officials who literally failed to maintain and improve this country's Infrastructure. Improving the Nation's infrastructure remains a key to a steady growth in tourism while the competitive countries are way ahead in terms of Infrastructure and Hospitality.
For tourists to come to India, their experience right from when landing and getting out of the airport to reaching their destinations, then use of facilities as a tourist like taxis, restaurants, sightseeing and visits. Also the environment on cleanliness, infrastruture and safety. There needs to be improvements in all these areas.
India has its own charm but I would refrain from coming there because the moment you step out of your hotel or airport, everyone seems to be dishonest and out to scam you, these includes Taxis, Guides, Autorickshaw drivers and even hotels or restaurants. People aren't polite in almost all the places of India (south part seem better) and there is no civic sense and people lack social etiquette, including queuing up for one's turn, driving was like I have survived 😂.... honking....the country has lot to offer for tourists as in spots but the people and facilities, etiquette have to improve there overall.... sorry if I hurt anyone..😢
Even after 77 years of independence a Fhilthy destopian world like infrastructure will loose on world level😂😂😂I lost hope in this country and now I have started to criticize this country 😅😅
I got it. If your government cleans up the streets, I'll take the family. My children complain about your poor sense of hygiene. Maybe they are right. Poverty is no excuse. Dogs bark at my grandchild. Why street dogs? Where are the kennels? When I was a child, there were no street dogs and hawker menace. Marketing will not improve anything. I'm born in India. LAW & ORDER, mate.
No country keeps cleaning up their streets all the time. The problem is with the pathetic self centered public who give a damn about their country and fellow citizens.
1)Obnoxious hotel rates 2)local Taxi mafia who loot the tourists, no Ola nor Uber. 3) Lack of infrastructure, roads, encroachment in tourist areas, lack of walkways.Airport at Mopa way away from tourists hot spots. This entails heavy pickups and drop charges. 4) Scamsters at every nook,unhelpful and rude locals, corrupt police hassle tourists . 5) Restaurants and Shacks serving Crap cuisine at extraordinary prices. The Goa Government and Goemkars are responsible for this predicament.
I love visiting India. India has so much to offer. Cleanness is the biggest issue in my opinion. Shops/people throw trash right on the spot, on the streets and beaches…etc. Please don’t rely on someone will clean the garbage. When it rains the sewer is clogged and street is so difficult to walk on. Imaging you have to walk on the wet and dirty street bare feet to visit the temple. When I want to spend more time on the beach to enjoy it, the garbage discourages me from doing that. I even saw garbages in the desert when I had the desert tour from Jaisalmer. If every place can let the tourists stay a bit longer, the tourists are likely to spend more and it’s good for the locals.
Pricing depends on Demand - Supply ratio ...if Demand decreases fares of hotel , taxi & airfare will all come down ..... its good that Indian Tourists have wake up to this & changing their destinations - we will wait for price to come down till then we will visit thailand , vietnam or kazakhstan
India is too dirty and too crowded. Everyone wants to trick you into spending more. Also, historic sites just look shabby. It needs deep clean and proper maintenance. Poor south American country gives better experience half the cost. Not worth it.
India cannot even have basic sanitation for its own people who are so poor, don't expect to be able to host tourists. Tourist want to enjoy and can't when see such poverty and unsanitary conditions. Tourists want to it home alive.

There is no tranquility anywhere in india. I wish it could be changed.
You've never been to kerala or Northeast India then
Am from shillong even tourists spots here are scattered with thrash and alcohol bottles or beer bottles just about everywhere...
@@teejayman215 india is not just those places.
All of india should be clean.
Nooooo we r superpower
@GaneshPalraj1991 Yea, north Indians need to start taking responsibility and shop bringing shame to Indians worldwide
I came back from Thailand in October, by far best decision. Not just cheap but so clean and organized. I will never goto goa ever again, especially the taxi maifa.
Behaved rude, arrogant, disrespectful to locals ?
Lol! Local tourism killed the Goa vibe
@Samurai-ke5ie Why you think everyone will act like that?
how much does it cost for a family of say 3 or 4? what about visa process?

I recently visited India after 14 years and was shocked by how much it had deteriorated. There was a pervasive sense of decay and disorganization. Sidewalks became cluttered with mini shrines, adding to the chaos. It’s not an experience most people would willingly want to repeat.
Not only tourism in crises, may other areas are in crises. India is sinking & not shining anymore.
"anymore"?? When did "India" shine? LoL.
10 years of modi was just perception management and even they are tired of doing it over and over again so they gave up
REMOVE ALL THE DIRTY STREETS FOODS IN INDIA, KEEP THE PLACES CLEAN,GIVE SAFETY FOR WOMEN AND FOREIGN TOURISTS...
@tarunika983 the government doesn't care about doing this unless the people fight hard to want this from them
@@teejayman215don't buy from them
Ya, this uncle is stuck in patriotism. Talk about infrastructure and cleanliness and basic hygiene and civic sense. We are charging foreigners higher at tourist attractions.
Lol yes BJP solution to every problem, just to provoke patriotism. Lol
That’s what they are good at! Talk talk talk talk talk & talk
Cleanliness, friendliness,and safety, out of all south Asian countries Sri Lanka is the best.
Bhutan too
Sri lanka? Are you sure? 😂
I just returned from Goa and by god promise the infrastructure of Goa is in a mess. The roads are all dug up and all pot holes full of dust. The power is at all times are not there. Every where you see cows around on the streets. Pls you need to uplift things.
Scared of rapists scammers loot in India
Most foreign tourists say India is too filthy to visit for a vacation. I don't know what India can do about this.
It will take atleast 2 decades to change...
While true. Its a bit exaggerated. Lots of places in India like Kerala, himalayas, ladakh and north east are very clean
@@keriddunk1520does north east has the highest concentration of people 😳?
@@knightofgodserventofholymo7500They have been talking for more than 50 years!

Different cultures! Different mentality!
I can tell why the tourist is down in India from my own experience travelling to the country. A, the unprecedented level of pollution B, the pestering of the local gift shops in front of every attractions. I love local markets and I always visited them when I travelled to the areas. It was a nightmare to walk around anywhere in India and worst was in the market places. I was glad to have a chance to see India and its many palaces but it was an exhausted experience by the end.
Agreed 👍
Please go to kerala
If we can't attract Indians then how can we attract foreign tourists. Thanks to GST and increasing expenses.
Shrinking value of INR is the reason
KEEP THE PLACES CLEAN FIRST..BRING STRICT RULES
Mainland is bad northeast
india need safety for girls and soft power
Lol what about men safety? In Mumbai a woman can roam at night bt in usa, UK cities can't. Btw I stay in usa. And here after 8 pm roaming at night is not 100% safe.
Not only that, India must be clean and reduce scams.
@Pain-zd5uo yeah atleast make more cities like Indore or keep the tourist places just more safe
Soft power, what is it?
@mannysubramanian8393 like kpop anime or kdrama
I was just in India in Dharamshala-the hotel and air fares were very expensive. The services were not up to standard.
This old dude is Modi Andhbhakt, they have Only one solution to all the problems lol that is patriotism
Like Sir ji said...In Goa, there are no taxi apps like Ola & Uber..whereas in Thailand and Bali...Bolt & Grab are helping many foreigners... That's very important..Because Backpackers & Solo travelllers are also important in boosting tourism..hope INDIA more Scandanavian & Russian Tourists during Winters..
Welcome to China!
Its not just cost. Experience also matters. Cleanliness and attitude of people in our country is another reason i think.
@Nandan: we just arrived from Goa after spending 8 days which we do every year, unfortunately beaches are dirty, litter everywhere you go, no clean footpaths to walk, Goa miles not working in almost all locations, prices of food and accommodation is very high for their sub standard services, roads are bad, honking, scams...many reasons which make Indians and foreigners consider visiting Goa.
Come to China. 240hrs visa free. Safe, clean and no scam in transportation.
No thanks, too much censorship.
@cynthiajennings5792 Not any more than YT.
Every tourist in their recent visit to goa have faced harassment from taxi drivers…and here he flatly denies it
See the dirty and crowded place and rude people well don’t need a reason why tourist are not coming price is not the only reason
What u expect from a country which failed to stop gutka😂😂. Also nyc, Tokyo, Amsterdam have more crowd than Mumbai, Delhi. Still many tourists roam there.
@@Sankkhamkar10 this! Tokyo with its size and population should be mega dirty and disorganized. But Japan is fantastic, despite the crowds, there is no chaos, no dirt. It ultimately comes down to the people and their culture.
Indian Minister for Tourism should take a trip to Japan, Vietnam and China to see WHY foreigners are visiting those countries BUT NOT India.
Travelled in India for about one month and had to leave because of infection caused by dirty water. Nice place but just too dirty, however Indians themselves do not find this a problem somehow…sad
Our body is immune to it so we don't think it's problem....
Not really. Indians do find this a problem but the politicians at the top don’t care. Therefore people get desensitized
They will never change!
They have been talking for about 50 years! Another 50 years and 50 years !..... This is an Indian culture?
Sadly, this Goan fellow is still living in his own dream world which is "DENIAL MODE". This mindset will cause more and more harm to Goa tourism. Personally, I used to travel to Goa almost every alternate year. However, after seeing Thailand and Indonesia, I regret why didn't I go out of India before. Hooliganism of taxi drivers, poor value for money and unhygienic are the few who are going to destroy Goa even more in the future.
With similar (or even less) money you get a mind-blowing experience, best-in-class service, hospitality, and cleanliness.
Most importantly, Goa hype was created using Bollywood. Most of the people coming out from tier 1 or 2 cities got to know about Goa from Bollywood movies only. Time is ticking and if Bollywood also shifts to foreign locations, Goa will become a city with a lot of shut-down hotels.
An Indian friend in Kolkata on online said "Bollywood is India, and India is Bollywood". Many Indians are influenced by Bollywood movies and it's culture. What happened to Indian classical music? It seems many of the vocalists sing Bollywood movie songs, instead of their own lyrics.
Taxi Mafia, Rude Local's behaviour, water sport scam , Scooty Scam, Baga & Calaungut cleanliness.
I have been to India many times and love many aspects of the country and will go again but the infrastructure and lack of ease of travel makes me think twice.
Goa tourism has fallen thanks to the migrants from U. P, Bihar, Karnataka etc who learn konkani and scam the tourist and they think these people are locals.
Also government has sold prime land to business man from Delhi, Mumbai etc who flot every rules build resort and charge heavy rates.
I can go no and on
We were recently in India and found services 'wanting'. Travelled to Delhi via Mumbai, with Air India. At Mumbai Airport, we had to collect our luggage and RESUBMIT our luggage to connecting flight to Delhi!! Wow. Many issues arise when sightseeing, using local services, leaves much to be desired.
Typical chest beating and not acknowledging the real problem of dwindling tourism..what this guy is saying?russian charters are now going to Thailand Malaysia vietnam in larger numbers...it's a statistic.."we are running world economies our tourists"...it's because you have made domestic destinations so expensive that indians are. Touring international...plug that gap rather than shouting like an amateur
That's our DNA unless it changes nothing can change.. That's why Pant and Kohli fail ...Our egoism
There are cleaner destinations than India. People in India do not realize the dirt and squalor around them is an issue. Who would want to visit an unorganized and dirty place?
Vietnam is"very clean".... The first thing Nandani mentioned! Yes, that is the thing that India needs to urgently address. It's just not acceptable, and now with increased domestic tourists, who have no idea about not polluting the environment.....😢
Also India is now focused on marriage venues, and NOT foreign tourism. Well what do you expect!
civic sense is part of those countries culture. They have nurtured their generations teaching civic sense. In India there is no civic sense and its not part of our culture.
Indeed.. Proven, Cleanliness didnt associate with rich or poor, yet Indians still giving excuses as such blaming poverty!.
Even you pay me $10000, I will not go to India
Who is asking you to go? Don’t!

I'm a UK citizen and have just returned from a week's holiday over Christmas in Mumbai. India, we love you. I have visited India regularly over the last 30+ years. My wife and I love India, difficulties and all - please don't ever change.
However, as much as we adore Goa (and have been many times) accommodation is now poor value for what you get. That needs to change our they will price themselves out of the market.
Please visit kerala
@keriddunk1520 Already been.
You need to visit other countries in that region.. it will blow your mind.. do go and visit Malaysia.. Indian food in Malaysia is better than in India.. even in Thailand Indian food is so much better.. same in Singapore with better hygiene than Switzerland.. people around the world now associate India with dirty food and filth.. India needs to just do it.. and stop talking.. all talk and no action is Indian culture
@@azharidris7092 Indian food in Thailand is better? WTF? I’ve been to many Indian restaurants in Thailand- it’s no where near as good as food in India! Malaysia is no better!

Uncle is talking nonsense. What is this BS about AI and search? Fix your toilets, take cows off the street, break the taxi mafia, and tell hotel chains to index their pricing to competing international locations. You should be ashamed that countries hundred times smaller are getting more tourists ( Singapore, etc.). Major tourist-based countries get numbers many multiples of their host population. A million tourists for a country with population of 1.5 billion ... pathetic
Global perception management is also an issue
Nobody wants to see the dirt and chaos..
One time tourists will come to see the crap, but never in life will they return back😅😅😅
China has recently granted visa free status for 38 countries for up to 30 days, and transit visa exemption for 54 countries up to 240 hours. It really helped in attracting foreign tourists to visit China. India may consider the same measure.
Its cheaper to travel thailand them goa..
in india you pay the prices of London and ejoy the services like somalia.
100% truth
It's also a lot to do with social media influencers. Most are showing the reality of places.
I visited Manali and surround in Himachal recently. It's a paradise in terms of breathtaking scenes. Can easily rival Kashmir or Europe. However, some of the road infra is not good, garbage problems, lack of sensitizing the local trade and towns people. Air pollution in such a pristine Himalayan area is starting to affect badly even at a height of 7000 feet!! Visited the Lahaul- Spiti district, which is stunning and the amazing 'Atal Tunnel' at a height of 10,171 ft ....crisp air ....yet, the air inside the 9 km tunnel was full of diesel fumes and pollution! While the infra development is impressive these environmental and policy failures need to be addressed urgently!
Tunnels are full of smoke where ever you go unless you have exhaust fans, just close the windows.
@@nimakara8917 that is exactly what the tunnel / infra authorities shld have built! Exhaust systems or ventilation systems!
@@nimakara8917 I live in North America, the tunnels here are clean and don't smell like your face is shoved into a diesel exhaust pipe
Thanks to internet and foreign travel blogs who have shown the reality of India and saved millions of people from wasting there money and time.
Yes uncle ji everything is a conspiracy theory.
Yes,I'm.Indian and I can say... Because of highr prices,and lack of civic sense,no waste management,No Clean Toilets for foreign tourists...too much dirty streets...
Great 👍
Tourists want to see a clean environment with basic infra, not filth.
Srilanka and Thailand give indians free visa arrival on access. Even, now Russia has announced free visa on arrival access for Indians. So it's obvious that Indians will flock to these countries where they are getting same amount of hospitality in a similar price which they used to get in india
With the kind of services it provides, eveyrhing broken and dirty and scams everywhere, doesn't india deserve to lose out on tourism ?
Why is Nobody talking about
1. Cleanliness in Indian cities and other tourist hotspots ?
2. about police harassing self-driving vehicles in Goa ?
3. scammers posing as touts and guides
4. Pollution caused by overtourism?
Always on denial mode. No strict rules by govt. Vote bank always.
Government is interested only in Mandir Masjid.
@pumbagaming6342 The citizens won't demand more if they are uneducated and haven't even seen what life in comfort in other countries can be like.
The goverment loves it's uneducated
and if you offer constructive criticism, you will be ostracized. Logic and reason are non existent. People are always emotional and touchy about anything under the sky and sometimes they are the very people who are extremely insensitive.

How can the host get a first time international traveller for her views
Her trip to Vietnam cannot be compared to any trip in india because here one cannot get the same Vietnam type itinerary
We do not cater to overnight boat stays
We do not have the Bana hills bridge or Phu Quoc type beaches
It’s chalk n cheese
The taxi mafia in goa is internationally known and have let not just tourists but the people of india down
Yet sone advocate to deny the same.
I have stopped going to goa for Christmas from 7 years
My Christmas destinations are Vietnam. Malaysia. Thailand which give me more value for the money and better infra hotels transport
But if state and central govt authorities are in denial of this stark reality , and continue with hollow Incredible India campaigns without doing any thing to address the rot in every aspect of touch points of tourists
We have historically been a top 20 destination. This is a pity!
I am on tour, just now with family of 3A+1Kid from Chennai to Alapuzzha and Vagamon it costed Rs.1 lac for 6 days trip that too by Train 3AC journey on both directions from Chennai to Kochi. Vagamon Hill station is fully crowded with traffic jams by private vehicles and one could not travel from one place to another. Central place of Kottayam is jammed with traffic and no road space. Only place less crowded was Kumarakom in Kerala. Being a middle class family after spending a good chunck of savings for tourism, India does not offer peaceful tourist locations.
There is no peaceful place in India.
Only Mandir Masjid controversies everywhere.
This may be holiday season and more expensive
I agree with some of your problems, but India is having higher population with big density. The roads are not enough unless you build flyovers
@keriddunk1520 Public transport should be improved and encouraged (to reduce cars). Building metro is also an option.
Talk talk talk in this video and still missing the main points. Maybe they should read the comment section for true honest advises such as safety for women, constant harassment, pollution, disorganized/chaotic environment , cleanliness of the cities.....and much more. Potential International vistors are NOT stupid . They will research and see lots of TH-cam videos. Sometime the truth hurts but that how you learn as a country. Why would people spend their hard earn money to visit your country if you are in denial of the issues and just make excuses. Watching from Canada.
They could sh!t on you beaches in Ontario as if they are living in their own country then you don't have to imagine what it is like in India !
I agree with most of things that you said, but it’s not just India that is dirty. There are a lot of countries even Vietnam or Thailand is dirty maybe not as bad as India. It has been subjected to a lot of these videos like people like to start a trend of showing everything dirty in india. Mainly done by arab countries for siding with Israel. there are lots and lots of clean places in India, which are not shown that’s what’s causing the damage to India’s reputation
Hotels are super expensive in india unlike we can get cheaper options in Thailand and Vietnam..
Downfall?? You had to be up there at some point to have a downfall LoL. Nobody wants to spend their hard-earned vacation in slums 😂
Ive wanted to go to India many times but have been talked out of it everytime by friends. Then i watched vloggers and it does really seem like a bad place to visit. The reason is as a family, we dont like tourist spots and want to visit local places and explore the life, food and culture of the locals. The problem in india is that it seems unsafe. From every houtuve video ive seen she would not feel safe there at all. The food seems like it can be quite dangerous to try the most local delicacies. It also seems rife with scammers, beggars and harassing mobs. The vehicle traffic also seems like utter chaos and traversing the country seems difficult due to poor infrastructure.
For us its not about price. We go to singapore and Iceland and we go to Vietnam and Indonesia. But something about India has a much worse image than any of the other Asian countries we've travelled to, including cambodia. Ive still not been to india and can only go off of these travelloggers so I may be highly misinformed. But this is why Ive kept my family away.
I do still want to travel their one day to see all the history and culture their but I think its something I'd do by myself or with some male friends only.
No you did the right thing and although your fears are not entirely true, it is a pretty unpredictable place. Like a jungle, it could be a memorable trip if you manage to come out fine with beautiful experiences or it could easily turn into a disaster.
I am a Singaporean woman who had just returned from a solo holiday in New Delhi and Jaipur.
I have had a great time in India though many of my Singaporean friends will never go there.
India suffers from image issues, real or perceived.
India has a long way to change the world's impression of the country. By the way, the visa is quite an obstacle.
For me, i am definitely going back again: to Mumbai and Jodhpur.
Who would visit a country where cows are roaming the streets, roads are filthy, air pollution and people are urinating and openly defacating outside.
yes agree with you, just went to Pattaya in Thailand, everyone clean and tidy , only issue was some indian men urinating on the beach and some throwing rubbish on floor. they took their habits abroad. Thailand is beautifully clean, hardly any rubbish on floor, no issues with finding clean toilets everywhere. airport officals polite and no visa needed,
I’m Canadian, I have traveled India 11 times, yes the prices have gone up but the standard is still very low, nothing works correctly, beaches? Ya garbage is dumped directly onto the beach. Washrooms? Public washrooms in Delhi built for the commonwealth games across from the rail station where broken run down 6 months later, what a waste of time and money.
I agree, but there are places which are clean in India, Kerala, for example
@ oh kerala, loved it, the coast up into the hills, brilliant.
@@JohnHiggins-f4h yep. Also another pristine albeit lacks infrastructure is north east. Its very clean and pristine but its hard to get there
Appreciate for bringing this topic up for a discussion.I think more such public discussions should be on the rise to expose the filthy and corrupt politicians and officials who literally failed to maintain and improve this country's Infrastructure. Improving the Nation's infrastructure remains a key to a steady growth in tourism while the competitive countries are way ahead in terms of Infrastructure and Hospitality.
For tourists to come to India, their experience right from when landing and getting out of the airport to reaching their destinations, then use of facilities as a tourist like taxis, restaurants, sightseeing and visits. Also the environment on cleanliness, infrastruture and safety. There needs to be improvements in all these areas.
India has its own charm but I would refrain from coming there because the moment you step out of your hotel or airport, everyone seems to be dishonest and out to scam you, these includes Taxis, Guides, Autorickshaw drivers and even hotels or restaurants. People aren't polite in almost all the places of India (south part seem better) and there is no civic sense and people lack social etiquette, including queuing up for one's turn, driving was like I have survived 😂.... honking....the country has lot to offer for tourists as in spots but the people and facilities, etiquette have to improve there overall.... sorry if I hurt anyone..😢
don't feel sorry for speaking the truth.
Bad experience start from the inflight experience where its majority Indians and Sri Lankan. Its horrible 😬
Whoever the man in white shirt no matter how much you are trying to defend the data won’t lies.Accept that Indian tourism is in ICU.
Overtaxation kills businesses. Add to it the intolerable religious fanatism

tourism infrastructure in the country is stuck in the 60s
I got it. If your government cleans up the streets, I'll take the family. My children complain about your poor sense of hygiene. Maybe they are right. Poverty is no excuse. Dogs bark at my grandchild. Why street dogs? Where are the kennels? When I was a child, there were no street dogs and hawker menace. Marketing will not improve anything. I'm born in India. LAW & ORDER, mate.
No country keeps cleaning up their streets all the time. The problem is with the pathetic self centered public who give a damn about their country and fellow citizens.
1)Obnoxious hotel rates
2)local Taxi mafia who loot the tourists, no Ola nor Uber.
3) Lack of infrastructure, roads, encroachment in tourist areas, lack of walkways.Airport at Mopa way away from tourists hot spots. This entails heavy pickups and drop charges.
4) Scamsters at every nook,unhelpful and rude locals, corrupt police hassle tourists .
5) Restaurants and Shacks serving Crap cuisine at extraordinary prices.
The Goa Government and Goemkars are responsible for this predicament.
High costs and constrained supply in affordable transports and hotels are affecting the tourism sector amid economic slowdown
I love visiting India. India has so much to offer. Cleanness is the biggest issue in my opinion. Shops/people throw trash right on the spot, on the streets and beaches…etc. Please don’t rely on someone will clean the garbage. When it rains the sewer is clogged and street is so difficult to walk on. Imaging you have to walk on the wet and dirty street bare feet to visit the temple. When I want to spend more time on the beach to enjoy it, the garbage discourages me from doing that. I even saw garbages in the desert when I had the desert tour from Jaisalmer. If every place can let the tourists stay a bit longer, the tourists are likely to spend more and it’s good for the locals.
Keep India clean.
No they won't
Good that Media Talking about this Issue. Our Tourism Industry need a Serious Discussion/Back to Board strategy to Boost Indian Tourism !
These all are fake news, It's Acchedin they are jealous about our growth.
Pricing depends on Demand - Supply ratio ...if Demand decreases fares of hotel , taxi & airfare will all come down ..... its good that Indian Tourists have wake up to this & changing their destinations - we will wait for price to come down till then we will visit thailand , vietnam or kazakhstan
India is too dirty and too crowded. Everyone wants to trick you into spending more. Also, historic sites just look shabby. It needs deep clean and proper maintenance. Poor south American country gives better experience half the cost. Not worth it.
When Indians do not visit India, how do we expect foreign people to visit India?
我去过印度旅游2次，最大的困难在于服务者不诚信，总是给出高几倍的"印度价格"，你能感到他们为了骗到你而沾沾自喜。尤其在印度北方，包括孟买，特别糟糕。
India cannot even have basic sanitation for its own people who are so poor, don't expect to be able to host tourists. Tourist want to enjoy and can't when see such poverty and unsanitary conditions. Tourists want to it home alive.
