Speaking at the ‘Connect 2024’ event in Mangalore on Wednesday, Tourism Department Director Rajendra KV mentioned how changes are necessary to attract tourists. “We need to relax the ban on alcohol consumption on Karnataka’s beaches, which can lead to increased tourist inflows, just like in the state of Goa,” he said.
