Travel platform reveals that Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore are top destinations for Indians this summer

Indians are increasingly crossing borders to satisfy their wanderlust and gain new experiences.

According to Agoda Booking Data, the top five current preferences are Southeast Asian countries such as: Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore, as well as European destinations such as France and Switzerland. Indians are looking for scenic views, rich culture and places where they can enjoy the best of both worlds (mountains and beaches). Interestingly, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore have consistently topped the list of top destinations, and they were also the most popular pre-pandemic destinations [2019 Booking Data].

Domestic travel booking data shows the vibrant metropolises of New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai are the most popular choices in the country. It is not surprising that goa remains a strong contender, alongside the bustling metropolises as the ideal beach destination to unwind.
