Southeast Asia accounts for 40% of year-end travel plans curated by Indian users on Klook, with Japan making up another 14%. The findings are based on activity on Klook's platform.
Why it matters
The data points to a strong regional preference among Indian travelers for shorter, experience-driven trips closer to home. It also shows Japan drawing significant interest as a second major destination.
Popular Southeast Asian choices include Thailand island-hopping tours and river cruises, and Vietnam's Ha Long Bay cruises and cable cars. Klook did not disclose the sample size or time period behind these figures.
