Goa is an unsafe travel destination
Hot Threads
Topic owner: Pooja Bhasin: With the recent spate of rape cases in Goa, I feel that it is becoming increasingly unsafe as a tourist destination. With the recent rape case of the Russian girl & then the British girl some time back, this is just getting too common. Goa is really losing its charm.

People should understand their attichudes ,behaiviour and movements.These things can happen when you are at home also.Please don't undervalue Goa, till now it is the best spot for tourists in india.Come and enjoy Goa please do not exploit goa or search for unlawful joys at goa.

It's all part & parcel of such global tourist places..y gurls try to b more revealing , which makes guys attract .....inspite better b safe , then to b sorry.....i've been visiting goa every yr from 1999 , but in july-during monsoon's & blive me goa is at it's best........i've travelled to lot of places all over world, but it's just like being in lap of nature during monsoon in goa......forget abt facing , infact never ever heard of such incidents hapening during all these yr's of my visit....may b when it's crowded wit budget foreigners , specially during yr end, things tend to shape up in negative direction........if one's careful & smart & know's how to bhave where & when, then ther's no probs to visit goa in any time of yr........anyways gud luc to all u frnd's........live life kingsize / queensize in goa...........

It is all about the indian's who give them a chance to behave like this. Take a permission of Military & just shoot them.
Cl Si What a massacre, Vijayji. Finally they shoot all? To get the beaches for themself...
You took me serious - or unfortunately I took You?

Yes I absolutely agree that Goa has lost its charm. I remember having visited Goa in the year 2000. It was much better. You could get things for cheap, enjoy authentic food and have a nice stay. I recently revisited Goa with my wife, but was shocked to discover such a deterioration. There are hardly a few places where you get authentic Goan food. Shopkeepers, restaurant/shack owners are out there to rob the last penny out of your pockets. What is worse, what they sell if of very poor quality. The food in restaurants/shacks is all but authentic. Yet they charge a bomb for it. What a shame. Hotels do not fall behind, charging ridiculous rents for ramshackle rooms. All this leaves you with a feeling of disgust. I vow never to visit Goa. For those who go gaga over the 'proverbial Goa' I would say....Visit Goa and get fleeced.

I have been to goa 7 times in the last 10 years and everytime i have loved it there. Yes there are some disturbing incidents that happen now and then, but they happen in every tourist destination, more so because its known globally. Yes drugs do exist, and so does sex..but isn't it everywhere. Can you tell me that its difficult to get drugs in delhi or mumbai...its the same in goa!

Foreigners come only for cheap stay, sex,booze and drugs. Lotterting half naked and drunk in night on beaches, stray dogs will eventually bite. Should police spend more time protecting innocent tax payers or irresponsible people from outside? Why they all end up in Goa, why can't they be in decent city at decent times. Even if they behave tis way in their own country, they can get attacked. People in India dont hear that news. Any woman gets herself to drunk and drugged, means she'll end up doing things she'll regret. Why can't they just stay home, cook food and watch TV? Why compete with men in every department?
Cl Si Hi Sach Ka, the drunk ones are Indians. Fearde by locals, foreigners. One beer is sometimes too much. They start giggling, playing like kids or homosexuals and drown in 15 centimeter deep water - when the foreigners don't save them. foreign girls have to run away - cause the kingfisher makes a brave bombay baba feeling looking like SRK. And molesting those one with white skin - up to the mentioned cases of rape.
Best solution: All Indians stay at home cooking and watching TV. Only those ones with a permit by foreigners shouls be allowed to go out into "the wild"

Scarlett & the Russian girls' cases were just exceptions rather than rules. We can't say that it happens all the time, but these 2 incidents really did shock everyone. Needless to say, this will definitely affect Goa's pure, pristine & untarnished image till now. International tourists will now be a little wary of planning holidays there. But for locals who know India & love Goa, it will make no difference.

Yes, I think it's very unsafe. There are many hippies who hang around at night clubs, so it's a little scary coz you need to be very careful. I remember once I had gone with my friends & we were partying at a club at night. The people there were mixing weird stuff in people's drinks & serving them (might have even been drugs). That was a scary incident & it happens quite often in Goa. I think people need to be really careful when visiting. I think it's pretty unsafe!
Supriya Lal
No I don't think so. Just a few cases have come into the spotlight now, just b'coz foreign tourists were involved. But such cases are so common in big metros like Delhi. So why are we singling out Goa?
Darshan Naik u r absolutely right. its all the hype made by media to spoil goan image. but for this polititians are also responsible which ultimately spiol image of goa & goans....
Priya Narang Yes, I agree.
Prabhat Pilgaonkar
Yes I agree. In fact, it is now being declared as India's rape capital. Very sad!
Kapil Munshi Yeah, also there is a lot of drugs going on there!
