Goa emerging as a destination for drugs and sex: GCCI

Panaji, Feb 24 (PTI) Goa is emerging as a "drug and sex destination", the state's apex commerce body has warned.

The Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) in a pre-budget memorandum submitted to chief minister Digambar Kamat yesterday asked the government to shore up its act on tourism.

"Tourism in Goa of late is getting a bad name with Goa slowly emerging as a drug and sex destination. There is no basic tourism and entertainment infrastructure in the state.

Problems of law and order and garbage will spell doom for the state tourism," the memorandum signed by GCCI president Cesar Menezes said.

The GCCI delegation also asked the CM to encourage private participation in the development of tourism.

"There is need to encourage private participation in development of tourism infrastructure," the memorandum stated.
