New Zealand favourite New Year getaway for Indians

According to Skyscanner’s latest study that unravels the favourite New Year destinations of the Indian traveller, New Zealand tops the charts with travel searches for the Pacific island nation having increased by 52 per cent over the past year. “Crunching numbers from over 50 million users every month, New Zealand emerged as a clear favourite among Indian travellers, witnessing a growth of 52 per cent in travel searches from last year. 

“With a host of airlines offering economical deals to the country, New Zealand is now well within the reach of the aspiring traveller,” says the study. While the preferred destinations range across continents with an interesting mix of countries in the Asia Pacific, Europe and Middle East, in order to narrow down to places where Indians will be ushering in 2017, the survey drew upon comparisons between travel searches from 2015 and 2016. “It is exciting to witness a change in the perspective of the Indian travellers. Moving away from the clichéd holiday spots, Indians are willing to travel far and wide for seasonal holidays. Distance and budget are no longer considered constraints to plan a holiday,” says Reshmi Roy, Growth Manager, Skyscanner.
