The Most Popular Honeymoon Destinations in 2014

The Most Popular Honeymoon Destinations in 2014
What were the most popular places for newlyweds to spend their honeymoon in 2014? I found this very interesting article in Facebook news. The Facebook Data Team put together lists of the top honeymoon destinations in and outside of the US based on Facebook check-ins and a graph of the median distance traveled by country.

The Most Popular Honeymoon Destinations in 2014

I really loved this article, plus few of my friends got engaged this year, and the honeymoon destination is a very important topic for the future brides – so here some statistics to help you with your next destination.

Highlights from the findings

While Las Vegas took the top spot overall, newlyweds from the US were much less likely to check into Las Vegas on Facebook than couples from outside the US.
19% of US honeymooners traveled internationally, but it was couples from South Korea who traveled the greatest distance to their honeymoon destinations, with a median trip of 4,000 miles away from home.
More than 100 couples checked into a place farther than 12,000 miles away from home, almost exactly on the opposite side of the planet from where they started their journey. Couples living in Spain who traveled to New Zealand and Peruvians who traveled to Thailand made up a large proportion of this group.

Methodology

Honeymoon check-in lists were based on couples on Facebook who both posted a marriage event in 2014 and checked into a location within two weeks of their self-identified marriage date. Check-ins within 20 miles of their home location were excluded.

She’s a little bit badass : Whiskey drinkers are typically generalized as “badass” and it couldn’t have came to fruition without some level of truth to it. But just because she doesn’t drive a motorcycle or play bass guitar doesn’t mean she can’t have a little wild streak you don’t know about. And, judging by the bourbon on the rocks she’s clutching, she probably does. She’s emotional: She’s very in touch with her emotions – thanks in part to whiskey – especially after she has one too many whiskey shooters and lets you know how she really feels. Whiskey drinkers appear apathetic to the majority of mankind — but after you get to know people who love a good tumbler of whiskey and you share a few drinks with them, you’ll realize just how passionate they are. She isn’t afraid ...
