Beat the heat: Indians rank first in Agoda's Pool Preference across Asia

Agoda has unveiled its Pool Popularity Rank, focussing on which Asian travellers book accommodations with swimming pools. The search data shows that Indian vacationers are most likely to dive into the water to beat the heat. India ranks no 1 out of 10. After analysing the travel habits of 10 Asian markets, Agoda, found that Indians are most likely to use a search filter that only shows accommodations with a swimming pool. India, followed by South Korea, with Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines rounded out the top five while Japan and Taiwan formed the middle of the pack. Indonesians, Vietnamese and Singaporeans are least likely to care about the presence of a pool facility.

“It’s clear that for some travellers, a holiday isn’t a holiday until they have taken a plunge in the pool. Whether for a relaxed solo swim or some water fun with the family, Agoda’s Pool Popularity Rank shows that the appeal of swimming pools is shared across Asia. The easy-to-use search filters on Agoda’s platform help all travellers find the ideal amenities most suited to their needs on a trip,” said Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President of Supply at Agoda.

The presence of a pool is one of the five most popular search filters on Agoda. Other popular filters include complimentary breakfast, star ratings, user reviews, and free cancellation. Agoda’s many offers make it the ideal online travel platform for finding great value deals and booking a hassle-free vacation.
