Speaking to reporters, Ajgaonkar said groups of hawkers physically grab foreign tourists and don't let go until they buy their ware.
"Some hawkers... what they do is... five-six of them hold foreigners' hands and they don't let go. This message has to go to everyone," Ajgaonkar said.
The minister also said that tourism department personnel, including security guards and life guards, had been allotted areas on Goa's popular beaches in order to keep them hawker-free.
"I have told them that if hawkers are found, you will be suspended," Ajgaonkar said.
Goa attracts more than four million tourists annually, of which half a million are foreign nationals.
