Agoda's CEO says that searches for international trips from Indian travelers have increased by 225%, while most Asia-Pacific countries saw searches increase between 30% and 60%.
Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia are popular destinations for Indian travelers, and Vietnam is becoming a popular destination due to improved connectivity.
Japanese and Taiwanese destinations have seen a drop in searches, but South Korean destinations have seen an increase.
Indian travelers are spending more on accommodations and are willing to stay in four- or five-star hotels and explore proper restaurants.
However, the increase in travel is limited to wealthier Indian travelers, with the rest of the middle-class sector focused on domestic travel.
