Top-of-mind domestic spots among Filipino families, meanwhile, include Manila, Boracay, Baguio, Cebu, and Batangas.

Tagaytay, Subic, Bohol, Palawan, and La Union complete the list.

Agoda has polled 14,000 family travelers from 12 markets in its Family Travel Trend survey, which showed visiting landmarks, beaches, and parks as the most popular activities.

Enric Casals, Agoda's regional vice-president for Southeast Asia and Oceania, noted that families are taking advantage of school breaks to spend quality time on trips.

"Among Filipino travelers, we are seeing great interest to spend time at the beach, or in cities where there are a lot of historical and cultural sites along with sumptuous cuisine," Casals said.
