The study looked at data from thousands of customers who booked hotel stays during Chinese New Year week through Agoda.com.

“Thailand’s continuous growth as the preferred destination for Chinese travelers is a testament to the country’s excellent tourism product complemented with value for money accommodations and increased flight accessibility. Chiang Mai for example, which rose in popularity since the movie ‘Lost in Thailand,’ is now just a short flight away from several Chinese cities,” said Errol Cooke, Vice President for Global Hotels.
Across the board, Asian travelers who are not staying in their home countries are heading to other destinations within Asia to welcome the year of the Sheep.
