The "Return Visitor Ranking" survey of Agoda found 67% of the Indian travelers surveyed said they want to come back to their favorite destinations for their cuisine, ease of travel, and affordability.

Up to 58% of repeat travelers have visited favorite destinations between one to three times in the past decade, the survey found.
