① WHERE THE CAMERAS ARE GOING · MONTHLY
India is 2026's breakout destination for travel creators.
141 of the 1,752 travel YouTubers we track have published an India video so far in 2026 — already 28 more than in all of 2025, with five months of the year still to go. No other country's coverage is growing faster.
Creators filming each country: 2025 vs 2026 to date
2025 full year 2026 through July 4
Thailand added 21 creators over its 2025 count, South Korea 16, Japan 15. India's jump of 28 is the largest in our index, and it isn't a small-base effect: 113 creators filmed India last year, already fifth-most of any country.
The top of the coverage table is a dead heat — Italy and Japan tied at 169 creators each this year, United States at 157, Thailand at 147, then India at 141 and climbing. If the first half's pace holds, India ends 2026 in the top three.
