    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, I would like to say that we have introduced the beach accesses as an alternative location for the beach operators. That is where they will access the beaches directly. Secondly, the 2.5-acre land we have purchased is hardly 50 metres away from the beach. Therefore, it is directly accessible. I want to inform this House that we have agreed with the hoteliers that when these markets are established, we will have a shuttle bus that will pick tourists from all the hotels and take them there. We, as a Government, have resolved that in 2009, licences for curio dealers who want to have shops in the hotels will not be permitted. This is because curio shops will be managed by beach operators. To complete answering the hon. Member's question, we have not accused anybody of being immoral. However, there is bad business conducted at the beaches which is creating a bad image that is causing our tourism to be perceived as sex tourism. This is the bad image we want to eradicate in our country. That bad business conducted there, is being camouflaged by beach operators who idle on the beaches. That is why we want to remove such beach operators. The good beach operators are the ones who will be given the opportunity to do honest business."
