Despite the rise in interest in Japan, the mystery of China and pristine beauty of the Philippines, Indonesia’s island of Bali has come out on top, again, for Aussie holidaymakers.

Indonesia’s popular island was named number one for the third Easter in a row, proving we really do have an unspoken commitment to the Southeast Asian hot spot.

Outside of Bali, Aussies said they’re also keen to spend the Easter holiday period in Tokyo this year as well as Sydney, Melbourne, Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore, the Gold Coast, Hong Kong and Pattaya.

Japan’s capital crept to the top spot from 5th place last year and was followed by Bangkok, Malaysia, Bali and Singapore.
