The travel platform reveals that Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore are the main destinations for Indians this summer

Agoda, a digital travel platform, has revealed the hottest vacation destinations today as international travel slowly regains popularity.



Explorers are dusting off their suitcases and preparing to celebrate the holiday season after a two-year hiatus.

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

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

Domestic travel booking data shows that the bustling 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, ranking alongside bustling metropolises as the ideal beach destination for relaxing.

Bangkok will be the world’s most populous city in 2022. The bustling city has embraced the festive season, offering nightlife, beaches, temples, culture and cuisine, with travel rules almost entirely relaxed. Other Asian treasures that feature in the top five are Jeju Island, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo and Seoul.
