‘Calangute turning into mini-Thailand’

Calangute: Considering the current direction in which Calangute is headed, the day is not far when the tourist hub will gradually turn into a ‘mini-Thailand’, a local voluntary organisation has said.

“Former chief minister Manohar Parrikar had a vision for Calangute, to convert this area into an international tourist destination. However, that has not happened,” said Calangute Constituency Forum president Premanand Divkar.

“There is no clear direction to the development taking place in Calangute,” he told reporters. Calangute, he said, should be projected as a global village. “Looking at the present scenario, Calangute is going to be a mini-Thailand in the next two years,” Divkar said, referring to the alleged immoral activities in the tourism hub.
