“Fashion shows are important for a tourist destination like Goa and in the years to come, the coastal state could emulate Paris as a global destination for fashion events,” Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar said on Saturday.

“For a state like Goa, fashion shows are important. When we have accepted that we are a tourist destination, it is but natural that fashion shows — which also go hand in hand with tourism — become important,” Parsekar said.

He was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the third edition of the India Beach Fashion Week, billed by the organisers as Asia’s biggest resort-wear fashion event.
