Trip Advisor its Japanese users on their favorite overseas holiday destinations?¡ª and the results are not what you might expect. Sure, perennial favorites like Lanikai Beach, Hawaii (#3) and Florida¡¯s Walt Disney World (#4) make the top five, but they rank below more exotic locals like Angkor Wat (#1) and Machu Picchu (#2). And while western Europe gets plenty of nods, so does eastern Europe. Destinations in Asia and the Middle East, along with some oddly specific locales?¡ª like Los Angeles¡¯ and Barcelona¡¯s ?¡ª all make the top 50.
Are Japanese tourists getting more adventurous? Taking advantage of the strong yen? Are the survey results naturally skewed? What do you think?
