From Istanbul\u2019s vibrant bazaars and historic mosques to Cappadocia\u2019s iconic hot air balloons, the country offers a mix of culture, luxury, and scenic beauty in one trip. Its growing popularity on social media, along with better flight connectivity from India, has also made Turkey a strong choice for summer travellers despite rising airfares.

Especially among younger tourists looking for experiences beyond the usual beach destinations. While airfare remains on a bit higher side, many travellers believe the overall experience justifies the cost, particularly with the Japanese Yen remaining relatively weak. From Tokyo\u2019s fast-paced city life and vibrant food scene to Kyoto\u2019s temples and Mount Fuji\u2019s scenic views, the country offers a mix of tradition and modern culture that continues to attract global tourists. Clean public transport, safety, and the rising popularity of Japan on social media platforms have also made it a strong long-haul choice for Indian travellers planning international holidays this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"article-photo-19902477-2\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.cnbctv18.com\/photos\/travel\/countries-you-can-still-visit-amid-rising-airfares-and-flight-disruptions-ws-l-19902477-3.htm\" data-flag=\"false\" class=\"jsx-7fecd3b08535a5ed para-img  photo-slide \"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/images.cnbctv18.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/australia-2026-05-13f766352dba5037cd019e59f28443b4.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=640&amp;height=360\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-7fecd3b08535a5ed p-img-count\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Image count\" title=\"Image count\" id=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"uncommon\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnbctv18.com\/_next\/static\/media\/img.d7072e01.svg\"\/><span class=\"jsx-7fecd3b08535a5ed\">3<!-- --> \/ <!-- -->7<\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-7fecd3b08535a5ed img-info\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"jsx-7fecd3b08535a5ed d-none\">\n<p class=\"jsx-7fecd3b08535a5ed\">Australia continues to attract Indian travellers looking for a longer and more experience-driven holiday.

From budget-friendly hotels and local caf\u00e9s to inexpensive transport and street food, many tourists view Vietnam as a destination where they can still enjoy an international holiday without overspending. Places like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Long Bay, and Hoi An offer a mix of natural beauty, nightlife, culture, and food experiences that appeal to both young travellers and families.
