While Dubai has emerged as the number one destination, the USA is the favourite country among Indian travellers, according to the report, 'Outbound Travel Trends', released here by global travel website Trip Advisor.
The findings are based on website traffic during the period between January 1 and June 30, 2014. Trip Advisor, however, did not given actual number of visitors visited abroad.
When it comes to emerging destinations, data reveals that Belize, in the northeastern coast of Central America, has topped the list, while China is number one in the emerging country list, it said.
"With interest in destinations such as Belize, Brazil, Tokyo and Bhutan growing at a rapid pace and alternate forms of accommodation such as vacation rentals or bed-and-breakfast being used while on a foreign vacation, Indian travellers definitely seem to be coming of age," TripAdvisor India Country Manager Nikhil Ganju said.
