The annual Google Year in Search data for 2024 has just been released and with over 8.5 billion searches per day, Google is privy to heaps of data on where people are thinking of going.
According to US search data, the top trending query for travel destinations in 2024 are the Gili Islands in Indonesia. The pristine archipelago made up of three small islands - Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air - is located off the coast of Lombok, Bali's more laidback next-door neighbor. Only one European city made the Top 10 list, namely Amsterdam; with two other European destinations in the most searched list: the Canary Islands and the Azores.
