Popular online travel platform Agoda this year recognizes Bali as one of the most popular destinations for international visitors, as the magical island welcomes back sun-seekers from all over the world after being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Agoda collected data on total travel bookings between May and August this year, and it turns out many holidaymakers have booked their trips to Bali after Indonesia relaxed travel restrictions and reinstated visa on arrival (VOA) entry.

Bangkok tops the list followed by Jeju Island, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Seoul, and Singapore.
