Dubai, in particular, emerges as the preferred destination for over 17% of Yalago’s American clientele venturing abroad.

Moreover, there has been an astounding 230% growth in travel from the United States to Thailand, following the country’s complete reopening for international visitors in the previous year. This surge has positioned Thailand as one of the top five preferred destinations among American travellers using Yalago’s services in 2023, alongside the UAE, Italy, the UK, and France, respectively.

Additionally, the region is witnessing a rise in popularity among inbound travelers from various global markets.”

Since the beginning of 2023, Yalago’s focus on the USA has led to a remarkable 71% expansion of its hotel accommodation portfolio across the country, allowing these properties to reach a wider global audience. Consequently, American travellers can now explore more parts of the world at more affordable rates, thanks to Yalago’s efforts.
