S. Koreans prefer pool villa accommodations while travelling to Southeast Asia: Survey

South Korean travelers to Southeast Asia prefer staying in pool villas and those traveling to Europe prefer guesthouses, according to a survey of 469 app users conducted by Yeogi Eottae, a ticket booking platform operator, 30.2 percent said they preferred pool villas in Southeast Asia.

Many South Korean travelers to Southeast Asia go as a couple or as a family.

But due to expensive accommodation in Europe, the most popular choice, voted by 32.4 percent, was to stay at guesthouses.

When asked when they planned on visiting another country this year, 34.2 percent of respondents said they would go there in December, followed by 20.7 percent for November, and 14.7 percent for October.

The majority of travelers wanted to travel abroad at the end of the year, primarily because of worries about the pandemic's resurgence, as expressed by 63.3 percent of respondents, and the rising expense of travel in the summer, as stated by 42.2 percent.
