Revitalisation of Baga, he said, would take around six months and was being executed with central and state funding. An estimated Rs 90 million has been sanctioned for the project.
"These beaches needed special attention in terms of more facilities and tourist attractions. A need was felt to develop the surrounding area with proper and better accesses, beautifications of the area in order to boost tourism in the state," Dias said.
The contiguous sand stretch from Baga beach to Sinquerim is the most popular beach belt in the whole of Goa and is often referred to as the proverbial "golden goose" for Goa tourism with hundreds and thousands of tourists flocking to this area annually, both for a dip in the warm sea and soaking in the throbbing nightlife which the region offers.
