The study looked at data from thousands of customers who booked hotel stays during Chinese New Year week through Agoda.com. Overall, Asians are staying in Asia and travelers from China prefer Thailand for this annual holiday. For Chinese travelers, destinations in the Southeast Asian country took the top three spots, with Hong Kong and Taipei following just after.
