The time around Christmas and New Year is when Goa experiences maximum footfall. This time of year, generally acknowledged as ‘peak season’, is when the roads and beaches of the popular travel destination are jam-packed with tourists. This time, however, something is different. Several tourists have reported that the usually bustling streets and crowded beaches are unusually quiet, with far fewer people than expected.
