As global travel dynamics shift, Indian travelers are increasingly opting for short-haul international destinations and domestic getaways this summer, moving away from traditional favorites in the US and Europe. Factors such as high airfares and flight disruptions have prompted this change. Popular international destinations include the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, with travel platforms like Cleartrip reporting a threefold increase in bookings for the Philippines alone. In contrast, long-haul routes to Europe have seen a decline in demand by 15-20%. Domestically, Jaisalmer has emerged as a leading destination, with a remarkable 300% increase in bookings. The interest in spiritual tourism is also notable, with significant demand for circuits like Char Dham and Ayodhya. Other popular domestic locations include Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Kerala, reflecting a broader trend towards visa-friendly and easily accessible travel options.
