Goa’s tourism minister Nilkant Halarnkar has asked India’s minister for tourism Sunbath Kant Sahay to sanction more tourism projects for the state, including a marina and eco-friendly hotels. Times of India quoted official sources as saying that they had “very fruitful discussions”, adding that as Goa was celebrating the Golden Jubilee of its liberation, it was fitting that the state should have more tourism projects.The sources had said that said Halarnkar had asked the Sahay that eco-friendly hotels should be allowed in Goa with some government subsidy to private parties who have more than 500 acres of land for that purpose. These eco-friendly hotels with traditional healthcare facilities including ayurvedic massages, would attract more tourists to the state, it was reported. Halarnkar also asked for marinas to be built in Goa on a public-private-partnership basis.Sahay reportedly assured the Goa delegation that he would do his best to promote tourism in Goa by sanctioning more projects for the state. Sahay also requested the delegation to keep Goa’s beaches clean in view of Goa’s reputation as the favourite tourist destination in India.
