KUALA LUMPUR – Yesterday was Labour Day in Malaysia as in many parts of the world and Trip.com came up with useful data which tells us where people hang out or travel during such a holiday. Remember, the holiday happened right in the middle of the week.
Some are taking the opportunity to enjoy an extended break of several days to unwind and explore over the holiday also known as May Day, which spans from 1 to 5 May 2024 in countries such as China.
According to Trip.com Group’s latest data, Asia is the hottest travel destination during this Labour Day Holiday period among travellers worldwide, with cities such as Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Seoul and Taipei leading the pack in holiday momentum.
