Whether it’s Bollywood stars like Priyanka Chopra, Randeep Hooda or Bipasha Basu or even TV personalities like Vivian D’Sena and Vahbiz Dorabjee, Goa has become the preferred destination for all to ring in the New Year.
Over the years, Goa has been one of the preferred destinations among Indian as well as international tourists to celebrate New Year.
While some prefer to let their hair down at various parties across the State, others check into plush hotels for the much needed year-end ‘break’ to welcome the year ahead.
One can choose from parties by the beach, to trekking in the Western Ghats or even spend time bird watching.
Reinforcing its popularity as a year-end destination, the State welcomed around 700 passengers on Tuesday via a holiday special train from Mumbai. The Goa Tourism Development Corporation has also organised a cruise aboard the Santa Monica on Wednesday, which will offer guests a taste of Goan food, music and dance.
The Goa police have beefed up the security across the State in view of the on-going Christmas festivities and the new year celebrations.
