Goa is marketing itself as a destination for casinos and liquor

Francis D'Souza, the Deputy Chief Minister of Goa has indicated that the coastal state is a place for liquor and casinos along with other tourist attractions and has maintained that the casino industry is generating revenue for the government.
This has been reported in news18.com dated 12 June 2016.

As the Deputy Chief Minister of Goa has said - Goa is a place for liquor, sun, sand, dance. It is also known for casinos, pilgrimage tourism, honeymoon destination, hinterland tourism and as Electronic Dance music (EDM) destination. He was interacting with reporters on the sidelines of national summit on `Smart Cities in Era of Digital India' organized by Goa government.
While responding to a question on branding the coastal state as a casino destination, he said that Goa is not known just for one thing. Casino is not the only reason for tourists to visit the State. There are several other attractions for tourists to come to Goa. Drug trade and prostitution have given a bad name to the state but these cannot be removed overnight.
