Cuba, South Korea and Taiwan will top the list of destinations for Australian travellers in 2016, according to an analysis of flight searches.

Australians considering an overseas holiday next year will also be looking at Mongolia and Norway, Skyscanner Australia predicts.

The list of destinations is based on countries that have recorded strong and increasing interest among people using the global search engine.
