Valentine's Day is tomorrow and for many that means a long romantic weekend away. Amadeus was curious to find out which were the top searched destinations during Valentine's day and found this.

The Pacific region was led by Melbourne, followed by Sydney, and Auckland. In Asia, Bangkok led the way, followed by Hong Kong, and Singapore.

Amadeus' analysis also revealed how far in advance people were searching and the number of days they wanted to stay at their destination. New Zealand topped as the most romantic region based upon their advanced booking times and average stay of three days.
