Goa Deputy Chief Minister Francis D’Souza said the coastal state is a place for liquor and casinos along with other tourist attractions.

India.- Francis D’Souza, Goa Deputy Chief Minister declared that the coastal state is a place for liquor and casinos along with other tourist attractions and maintained the casino industry is generating revenue for the government.

“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,” D’Souza said.

When asked about labelling the coastal state as a casino destination, D’Souza commented “Goa is not known just for one thing. Casino is not the only reason for tourists to visit the State.”

The BJP leader said there are several reasons for tourists to come to Goa. “Casino industry is helping the state government earn revenue. If we didn’t want it why did we allow it at the first place?” the Deputy Chief Minister asked.
