GREEK ISLANDS IN SECONG PLACE IN WORLD ‘S HOTTEST HONEYMOON SPOT!

Agoda.com, one of Asia’s leading hotel booking sites  and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq:PCLN), today announced the  results of their Global Honeymoon Survey, which shows the Maldives is the top  dream honeymoon destination for people all over the world.

The survey, conducted online in January and February,  2014, asked more than 15,000 Agoda.com customers to pick their dream honeymoon  location from among 20 destinations. A whopping one in five travelers chose the  Maldives, with the Greek Islands, Paris and Bali neck-in-neck for second place.

«We know the Maldives is a popular destination  for couples but we were surprised that its allure is so global. Among countries  where we had more than 100 respondents, only three didn’t pick it as the most  popular dream honeymoon destination – The Philippines, Saudi Arabia and New  Zealand,» said Errol Cooke, Vice President Global Hotels.

The Maldives was the most popular honeymoon spot  among Agoda.com customers from North America, Europe and Asia, but the runner  up differed depending on where respondents hailed from. Paris came in second  among travelers from Asia, for Europeans it was Bali and for North Americans,  the Greek Islands.

When it comes to dream honeymoons, Europeans prefer  far-flung places, as 89% picked destinations outside of their region. As a  group, Asians seem the least likely to venture far — only 65% picked  destinations outside of Asia.

Cancun, Mexico, often touted as one of the world’s  best honeymoon destinations, didn’t fare as well among Agoda.com travelers.  Only 2.4% picked it as their top spot. Of the 20 choices available, Montreal  was the least popular, with less than 1% of the vote.
