Goa has seen a surge in tourist arrival in December, especially the new year weekend, with most of the tourists headed straight for the beaches. In response to the increased tourist visits to the beach, Drishti Marine has deployed additional lifesavers across beaches in north and south Goa especially on popular beaches such as Calangute, Morjim, Arambol, Baga, Sinquerim, Miramar, Agonda, Benaulim, Colva, and Palolem.
