According to a press statement by Agoda, Bali in Indonesia, Singapore, Bangkok in Thailand, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia have emerged as the top city destinations for outbound Indian tourists during the current summer season, specifically in May and June.
The statement says that 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, Agoda says.

“The allure of Southeast Asia continues to captivate Indian travellers as they seek out new experiences and leisure opportunities. The diversity of destinations like Bali, with its serene beaches and rich traditions, along with the urban excitement of cities like Singapore and Bangkok, serves a broad spectrum of travel preferences. Furthermore, the many searches for Dubai and Kuala Lumpur show an inclination towards combining shopping, entertainment, and cultural engagement,” says Krishna Rathi, Senior Country Director India Subcontinent and Maldives at Agoda.
Agoda says its platform caters to this demand by offering Indians an array of accommodations, flights, and activities, facilitating the ease of planning and booking their ideal summer break.
