Renowned for its Roman history and rich culture, Italy is the most popular country on people’s travel bucket lists and is mentioned in over two-thirds of them online.
Out of the top 10 most-searched-for countries, Asia is the continent that features the most, with four (five including Turkey) countries within it taking the top spots. Hotspots such as Thailand, the Maldives and India are clearly grabbing the attention of aspirational wanderers with their golden beaches, scorching weather and bustling cultures.
There are some well-known holiday destinations that we aren’t as excited to visit again post-Covid, such as Morocco, with just 14,840 average monthly searches, United Arab Emirates, with 13,700 searches and popular travel hotspot, Laos, with just 2,890 searches.
But how have our travel aspirations changed over the past year?
In August last year, we wanted to visit Italy the most – Italy has now dropped down to the 13th most-searched-for country to either get a flight to or holiday in. Following this, both Mexico and Thailand have both been bumped down the list this year, too.
