The National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) has urged the government to proceed cautiously with the establishment of entertainment complexes, emphasising the need to prioritise non-casino activities.
After the Cabinet’s approval of a draft Comprehensive Entertainment Venues Act on Monday, the NESDC expressed concerns about the potential economic impact of casino operations.
While acknowledging the potential for economic growth, investment, and job creation, the council stressed that the primary focus should be on developing recreational tourism for families.
