MANILA, Philippines, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda spotlights the continued appeal of micro-travel, a go-to option for travelers seeking short-term trips that pack a punch. Perfect for spontaneous adventurers, micro-travel focuses on short, manageable getaways that fit into busy schedules, offering a refreshing escape without the need for extensive planning or hefty budgets.
According to bookings made on Agoda during the first five months of the year, Manila ranked fourth in the most popular destinations for a one-night stay in Asia. Manila's mix of history and modernity makes it a great spot for a quick escape. Travelers can explore Intramuros, enjoy a sunset at Manila Bay, and dive into the city's buzzing nightlife, all in one night.
Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) earned the top spot for a micro-trip in Asia, followed by Seoul (South Korea), Taipei (Taiwan), Manila (Philippines), and Pattaya (Thailand) in the top five. Jeju (South Korea), Nagoya (Japan), Kaohsiung (Taiwan), Penang (Malaysia) and Surabaya (Indonesia) round out the top ten.
