Searches up 20.73% YoY on Wego, showing that Kuwaiti travelers seek out architecture, tapas

markets, and mellow beaches without peak‑summer pressure.

Vienna, Austria

Searches climbed 23.67% YoY, as travelers lean into coffeehouse culture, operas, and parks

awashed with fall colors.

Visa note: Kuwait passport holders still require a Schengen (Type C) visa; however, many eligible

travelers are now issued multi‑year, multiple‑entry visas under EU facilitation rules.

Guangzhou, China

A standout in Asia, searches surged 156.49% YoY for this Chinese city. Fall brings cooler weather

for visits to teahouses, but the uptick is likely attributed to easier travel thanks to visa-free entry

for Kuwaitis (applicable through June 2025–June 2026).

Phuket, Thailand

October brings milder weather post-monsoon, perfect for family trips around mid-terms. 22.43%

YoY growth in searches prove Kuwaitis' increasing interest in Phuket for this season. Families can
pair gentler conditions with Old Town strolls, markets, and island‑hopping.

Diwali‑Season Travel

Building on seasonal patterns seen on Wego, travelers also look to South Asia mainly for

Diwali‑season visits (18–23 October 2025, peak on 21 October).

Notable destinations trending include: Kathmandu (+22.47% YoY), Chennai (+16.0% YoY), and

Kolkata (+33.84% YoY).
