The summer travel period this year is expected to coincide with Eid al-Adha, which may further encourage outbound
travel as residents take advantage of the holiday to plan extended getaways.

The latest platform data shows a notable rise in international searches, especially toward destinations in Europe and
Asia, with family travel seeing increased interest compared to solo trips.

European Cities See Strong Summer Momentum:

Kuwaiti travelers are showing strong interest in European destinations, with Munich and London emerging as the most
searched cities on Wego. Among these, Milan has seen the most significant year-on-year growth, with a remarkable
66.34% increase in interest, followed by Paris at 40.17%. Other European cities also witnessed impressive growth, with
Tbilisi City recording a 19.92% rise and Vienna experiencing an 8.34% increase. These destinations continue to
captivate Kuwaiti travelers with their unique charm and relatively budget-friendly travel options available on Wego.

Asian Destinations Gain Favor with Value-Driven Travel:

Asian destinations are gaining traction among Kuwaiti travelers seeking value-driven experiences. Kuala Lumpur saw a
notable 28.24% increase in searches, driven by its vibrant mix of urban excitement and family-friendly attractions.
Jakarta attracted solo travelers with its affordable and immersive experiences, achieving a 22.66% growth. Meanwhile,
Bangkok maintained its popularity, recording a 12.98% rise in interest, offering travelers unbeatable deals on
accommodations and cuisine through Wego. Additional destinations including Manila, Cochin, Dhaka, and Colombo also
ranked prominently among Wego users, with many searches attributed to expatriates planning family reunions during
the school summer break. These trends reflect a purposeful approach to travel, balancing emotional ties with cost
efficiency.
