Those with deep pockets and spare time are heading to Europe, Africa and Latin America, others continue to flock to short-haul destinations like Thailand and Singapore, but keep away from the general tourist spots.
"The less explored spots in Southeast Asia, like Koh Samui, Krabi in Thailand; Langkawi and Johor Bahru in Malaysia; and Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam are now being chosen by Indian travelers at large," Vikram Malhi, Country Head, Expedia, told IANS.
"Europe has always been the favorite travel hub for Indians, destinations like Turkey and Greece which were earlier not chosen in large numbers are now being explored widely," he added.
Agreed Sharat Dhall, president, Yatra.com, who said that while destinations in Europe and East Asia continue to be in demand, places like Macha Pichu in Peru and South Africa which offer adventure tours and trekking are becoming a hot favourite.
