Escape the Heat with Agoda’s Summer ‘Cool-cation’ Guide

In response, travelers are increasingly searching for cooler destinations to escape the high temperatures and humidity. To help meet this growing demand, digital travel platform Agoda has curated a selection of refreshing international destinations ideal for a summer “cool-cation.”

For those seeking relief abroad, the Southern Hemisphere offers an appealing seasonal contrast. Countries like New Zealand and Australia are currently in winter, providing opportunities to enjoy snow-covered landscapes and chilly mountain air. In the Northern Hemisphere, high-altitude countries like Canada, Austria, and Switzerland offer cool climates and cozy alpine settings.

New Zealand has seen a remarkable 379% year-on-year increase in search volume from South Korean travelers. A favorite among skiers and snowboarders, the country also draws visitors with its scenic glaciers and soothing alpine hot springs during July and August.

Australia has recorded a 28% rise in interest. Its snowy mountain ranges and cool coastal breezes make it a tempting destination. Nature lovers in particular are drawn to the Penguin Parade on Phillip Island, where Little Penguins return to shore at dusk—a charming seasonal spectacle.

Canada, with a 91% surge in searches, offers moderate summer temperatures and a wealth of outdoor activities. Travelers can embark on guided glacier hikes at Athabasca Glacier or paddle through the serene waters of Ontario’s Algonquin Park.

Austria has experienced a 44% increase in popularity. It offers an ideal alpine retreat with hiking and biking trails, as well as crystal-clear lakes like Wolfgangsee, Hallstätter See, and Achensee, all framed by majestic mountain views.

Switzerland remains a timeless “cool-cation” destination, showing a 4% uptick in searches. Highlights include scenic train rides to snow-capped peaks, exploring glittering ice caves, or swimming and sailing on glacial lakes.

Jay Lee, Country Director for South Korea at Agoda, commented: “With the early end of the monsoon season and the arrival of a prolonged, hot summer, we’re seeing a clear trend toward cooler travel experiences. Agoda offers the perfect way for travelers to find comfortable and refreshing getaways.”

Agoda provides access to over 6 million holiday properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities worldwide. To plan your ideal “cool-cation,” visit Agoda.com/deals or download the Agoda mobile app for exclusive offers.
