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.

Building Collapse: TB Joshua Compensates Families With N750,000 Each

The General Overseer of the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, Prophet T.B Joshua has stated through the church spokesperson, Kirsten Nematandani, that the church will be compensating the families of the victims who lost their lives during the collapse of the Church’s guest house on Friday, September 12, 2014 with the sum of 50,000rands (N750, 000) to each family. According to Kirsten, “The church has pleaded with the Nigerian government to expedite the repatriation process in order for families to bury the deceased with dignity and receive closure. “We have done a full audit of each family’s financial needs and assisted with various household expenses, as many of the deceased were breadwinners.” “The SCOAN church is donating a sum of 50,000 rand to each victim’s family for various expenses”, he said. Recalled that large cross section of those who lost their lives in the incident were South Africans.
