When Goa and Sri Lanka cost almost the same, why are some international tourists choosing Sri Lanka?
In this clip from Susegad Singh, tourism veteran Mr. Alu Gomes Pereira shares candid feedback he received from international travel professionals visiting Goa.
They praised their hotel experience—but reportedly found the beaches dirty, peaceful walks repeatedly interrupted, authentic Goan food harder to find and the warmth once associated with Goa increasingly absent.
Their conclusion was uncomfortable: at a similar cost, they would choose Sri Lanka for its originality, hospitality and overall experience.
A luxury hotel cannot carry an entire destination. Tourists also judge its beaches, cleanliness, culture, food, people and the environment outside the property.
This conversation reflects personal feedback shared during the interview, not a comprehensive statistical comparison of Goa and Sri Lanka.
Is Goa losing international tourists by losing the qualities that originally made it special?

so srilanka adopts the western ideas ...and values ...while maintaining their local values unchanged.
As India continues on its path toward becoming a developed country, it has also begun experiencing severe air pollution, and that toxic haze now affects Sri Lanka every year as well.
Another issue is people’s attitudes. Sri Lankan people are generally very kind, generous, and not arrogant. If India does not improve its standards of cleanliness and people’s attitudes, tourists will eventually choose to travel to other countries around the world instead.
Yes of course , its the hospitality of Sri Lankans scores above all.
Welcome to Sri Lanka, there are still many places which the tourists haven't experienced enough. Check our short videos for locations lesser known among foreign tourists
I feel as a foreigner India should have civic upbringing which starts in lower schools. Eventually after some years you can see changers apparently.
The cleanliness thing is not only in Goa but generally most places.
Kerala is an exception
