The high levels of humidity in coastal areas of goa make the weather extremely unpleasant, and there are relatively few tourists in the state. However goa remains notorious in the rest of India for drinks and drugs, so on weekends, especially long weekends, there are a large number of tourists from all over india. One newspaper reported that a large number of the tourists are young men from neighbouring states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, AP who come to goa for cheap drinks and drugs.
Though shack owners and other tourist service providers are able to make money during the weekends as most of the tourists are having jobs,from Monday to Friday they have relatively less business.
