These destinations often top “bucket lists” for global travelers, but not for Asian travelers, search data from Booking.com this year showed. The data, which analyzes searches from Jan. 1 to June 30, showed Asian travel interest varies by country. However, one country ranked high in 70% of the analyzed territories: Japan. While most Asians searched for travel to Tokyo, Osaka also appeared on the top 10 lists for travelers from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea.
Japanese travelers also favored their own country, with only one of their top searched destinations located in another country — Seoul, South Korea.
