There is a steady declining growth rate in tourist footfall in Goa. Several significant reasons contribute to tourism going haywire. Safety issues, poor roads, unreasonable taxi charges by local operators, improper parking place and garbage management, as well as exorbitant prices and crimes are some of the key reasons for the decline in tourism growth in Goa. Goa has seen a decline in foreign visitors since the pandemic, with tourists from India being the mainstay of tourism. There is almost nothing the government does, even though the same people get elected every time and the same problems arise every year. The hotels are not getting enough bookings, which is having a cascading effect on other areas connected with hospitality industry. How far the issue of unregulated taxis and exorbitant fares has actually dampened the spirit of tourism in Goa? It is now up to the administration to plug the holes in tourism boat and ensure that quality tourists come to Goa. The tourism department must review the marketing strategy to promote Goa as a tourism destination more efficiently.
