++ Filthy streets
++ Poorly maintained beaches
++ Non-existent traffic regulations
++ Overpriced

Americans generally don't go all the way to Goa (why would they?) - there are 
plenty of awesome beaches in Florida, Hawaii and in the Caribbeans - and an 
average hotel here costs less than the price of a rotten hotel in Goa. 

I don't know anybody who claims that Goa is beautiful anymore and don't blame 
the government for all the ills. There is probably no money to clean the place 
or its all gobbled down by corrupt people ... and then, who pays taxes anymore?

Local businesses pay diddly-squat.

For example, I spent 6 days in Goa where we mostly ate our meals at Goan 
restaurants - usually along the beach belt. Not one restaurant was willing to 
accept my US issued credit cards or debit cards - even though the checks were 
not small money.

The reason?

Of course, they don't need to show their sales and income - and therefore pay 
no taxes!
