New Delhi: A majority of Indians would prefer to go local and explore domestic destinations instead of international ones this year with Goa topping the bucket list followed by Manali, according to OYO Travelopedia.

As per the survey, 61 per cent of Indians would prefer to go local and explore domestic destinations, while 25 per cent would like to try international as well as domestic trips in 2022.
Despite the excitement to travel, 80 per cent of respondents said safety continues to be key concern amid the pandemic and arrival of booster dose would give them the reassurance to travel.
As far as the favourite destination in concerned, Goa topped a third of the respondents’ 2022 bucket lists, it said.
”This is followed by Manali, Dubai, Shimla and Kerala,” hospitality chain OYO said adding other international destinations on Indian travellers’ bucket list include Maldives, Paris, Bali and Switzerland.

On the other hand, 19 per cent said they would ”love to take that much awaited vacation with close friends”, while 16 per cent opted for a family vacation, and another 12 per cent preferred solo backpacking.
”A good 16 per cent of respondents said they would like it all!,” the survey said. According to OYO Travelopedia, in Indonesia, Bali emerged as the favourite destination for 2022, while in Europe, a majority of respondents opted for Bornholm, the Danish island in the Baltic Sea.
