India’s tourism nightmare | What are tourists doing wrong?

Viral videos of tourists dancing seminaked, driving in the wrong lane, and being unapologetic about littering have sparked conversations on “zero civic sense”. I dive into this by looking at incidents of tourist nuisance, and finding out how some states deal with it. Goa is arresting anyone who takes selfies with, or clicks pictures of foreign women without their consent. And Himachal is checking if you’re carrying a garbage bag in your vehicle or not. The Sissu panchayat banned tourists for 40 days. Will India's ₹22 trillion tourism industry survive this civic sense crisis, or are more doors slamming shut?
