Vietnam remains a top performer, attracting 443,000 Indian visitors in the first eight months of 2025 — a 42.2% rise from last year. Rising demand has prompted MakeMyTrip to roll out new packages to Phu Quoc, ahead of Air India Express’ direct flights. Rajesh Magow, CEO, said emerging destinations in Thailand and Vietnam are driving demand, while geopolitics has slowed travel to Azerbaijan and Turkey. The Philippines is also rebounding after lifting visa requirements for Indians.
