SEOUL, July 29 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korean travelers to Southeast Asia prefer staying in pool villas and those traveling to European countries prefer staying at guesthouses, a poll showed Thursday.
The operator of ticket booking platform Yeogi Eottae conducted a survey of 469 app users, 30.2 percent of whom preferred to stay in pool villas when traveling to Southeast Asia.
The results reflect the fact that travelers to Southeast Asia, many of whom travel as a couple or as a family, can enjoy the pool as well as high-quality services at pool villas.
As for travelers to Europe, the most popular choice was to stay at guesthouses (32.4 percent), most likely due to expensive accommodations as well as travel to multiple countries.
Asked about when they expect to travel overseas this year, 34.2 percent of respondents pointed to December, followed by November (20.7 percent) and October (14.7 percent).
Most travelers sought to go overseas at the end of the year, mostly due to concerns about the resurging pandemic (63.3 percent) and the rising cost of traveling in the summer (42.2 percent).
