Southeast Asia continues to top the list of preferred destinations amongst the UAE residents travelling during Eid Al Adha holiday, according to a new report released on Thursday by Dubai-based online flight and hotel booking platform, tajawal.
Vibrant cities of South East Asia such as Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Jakarta continue to hold the position of leading destinations for the holiday season as per the flight bookings on tajawal.
Sri Lanka boasting diverse landscape, cultural attractions and beautiful beaches has emerged as a vacation hotspot for Eid Al Adha break.
Switzerland also gained popularity this year, with considerably more flight bookings to Zurich versus last year as UAE travellers seek the combination of vibrant urban life and nature in all its glory.
The booking data also shows growth in the number of people jetting off abroad in search of colder climes and a preference for city breaks with a boom in hotel reservations in Toronto, London, Paris, Amsterdam and Baku.
Since the Eid Al Adha holiday period for public and private sector employees is expected to last up to four days, the average length of hotel stay has dramatically increased by 43 per cent as residents seek to experience far-flung destinations and their diverse culture.
