Frequently visited places
UAE residents take into account various factors when choosing a last-minute holiday destination, such as flight durations, expenses, and available discounts.
Kunaal stated that many of these places are reached by short-distance flights from the UAE, making them ideal for last-minute getaways. Merging close countries such as Georgia with Armenia, Kyrgyzstan with Kazakhstan, or Serbia with Bosnia for a week-long vacation provides tourists with a more varied and enhanced adventure. This method helps them cut down on airfare expenses by flying into one country and flying out from another, eliminating the necessity to go back to the same area later on. It is a productive method to experience various cultures, scenery, and attractions during a single journey, maximizing their travel schedule.
Rikant mentioned that the platform observes many customers making last-minute bookings. He explained that these promotions are mainly for our vacation packages, where customers combine services to suit their spontaneous travel arrangements, while flights are usually booked in advance. The top 5 places on our website include India, Singapore, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia.
