SINGAPORE, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda has unveiled the top five international flight routes based on booking data on the platform between June and August 2024. This year's rankings show a mix of familiar favorites and some shifts in traveler preferences compared to last year.

The updated Agoda rankings highlight Bangkok, Seoul, and Kuala Lumpur as top choices for international travelers, underscoring a preference for destinations within the Asia-Pacific region during the summer months.

Bangkok retains its position as the top summer destination for the second consecutive year. Seoul leapfrogs Singapore to take the second spot. Kuala Lumpur also sees an improvement, moving from fourth to third place. Singapore now ranks fourth while Tokyo makes its entry into the top five, replacing Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply at Agoda shared, "The summer of 2024 currently shows a trend towards Asia Pacific travel. Destinations like Bangkok, Seoul, and Kuala Lumpur continue to attract many travelers, reflecting their appeal and the diverse experiences they offer. After I visited Seoul recently and climbed Inwangsan mountain, I can't wait to go back and explore more of this city's attractions."

The popularity of these destinations highlights the ongoing fascination with vibrant cities like Bangkok, known for their unique blend of modernity and tradition. Seoul captivates visitors with its cutting-edge technology and historic palaces, while Kuala Lumpur offers a dynamic mix of skyscrapers and cultural landmarks.
