Unconventional tourist destinations like Morocco, Bhutan and Greenland topped the list of most popular 'searched' summer holiday destinations, showed a recent survey.
Based on the destination 'searches', the survey suggested that Indians are now becoming more experimental and adventurous in exploring new places to visit.

The north African country Morocco topped the list of most 'searched' tourist hotspot with the country witnessing a 261 per cent jump in searches compared to last year over the same period.

Similarly, Greenland has witnessed over 240 per cent rise in searches, the survey pointed out.

The UAE has also attracted travellers' curiosity this year with an over all 204 per cent growth in searches, it said.

Among the Indian destinations, places such as Srinagar, Goa, Kochi and Port Blair were the most searched tourist spots, the survey showed.
