Recent data from a travel booking website suggests searches for international and domestic travel among Canadians have increased significantly, despite a significant increase in the cost of flying.

Kayak complied the data based on searches, and said the results suggest despite rising flight prices of up to 33 per cent year-over-year, flight searches are up 77 per cent compared to last summer.

According to the data, there has been a 90 per cent increase in flights searches, while domestic travel searches are up 22 per cent.

Data also shows a notable increase in hotel and car searches as well, Kayak said. Hotel searches have seen a rise of 58 per cent while car searches have witnessed an uptick of 59 per cent for international destinations, compared to last summer.

Data reveals that daily car rental rates are down 13 per cent compared to last year. However, flights and hotels have seen 33 per cent and 11 per cent increases in cost, respectively.

According to Kayak, interest in flights to Europe is up 113 per cent since last summer, making it the top trending region travel to.

Asia is also among the top trending international summer destinations, with a 100 per cent increase in fight searches.

Kayak suggests travellers book their flights in advance in order to have a better chance of finding lower prices, and to choose a departure date sooner than later, before the prices rise.
