Emily Jenkins, Managing Director, dnata Travel Leisure, said: “In 2021, vacations to the UAE and the Indian Ocean proved to be the most popular for UAE travelers looking to take a well-deserved break from Eid al-Fitr. While these destinations remain ever-popular with travellers, this year, with more destinations opening, we are seeing a wider range of travel options begin to expand, across Asia, Europe and North America. .

“Travel demand is high as many countries reopen their borders to tourists, or relax or remove travel regulations related to COVID-19, making it easier for a passenger to travel. Recently opened and accessible, Bali and Singapore in particular are starting to gain traction as Thailand climbs rapidly into the top 10 most booked destinations for Eid al-Fitr – testing requirements for fully vaccinated travellers.”
