Bali, Singapore, Bangkok, Dubai, and Kuala Lumpur have emerged as the top city destinations for outbound Indian tourists in the summer travel season, specifically in May and June.
These insights, derived from Agoda’s extensive search trends, indicate a strong affinity for Southeast Asian destinations. This is also reflected in the most searched markets, with Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia being the most searched markets respectively, and the United Arab Emirates rounding out the top five.
As the summer travel season approaches, Indian travellers are showing a growing interest in diverse cultural experiences, vibrant cityscapes, and palm-fringed beaches offered by these overseas destinations.
