As countries across the globe battle to become the next trending destination, discerning travellers are always seeking something that piques their myriad interests. As per digital travel platform Agoda, the United Arab Emirates is the second most popular outbound destination for Indians between September 2023 and February 2024. 

What makes a place desirable to Indian tourists? Ease of access, affordability, and a diverse set of offerings that can keep the family engaged. One of the main reasons for the UAE’s growing popularity among Indians is its proximity. Thanks to modern infrastructure, and excellent hospitality, the UAE has seemed to tick off all of those boxes for the thousands of Indians who are increasingly choosing to fly down to the Gulf nation every year.
