It then took the total number of average monthly searches for each term to determine the ranking. And after analyzing all this data, it took. named Costa Rica as the most requested country.
“Costa Rica ranks first, with an average monthly search volume of 34,248,” the results reveal. According to the data, the highest average search volume comes from California, with 4,712.50 searches, followed by Florida with 2,984.17 and Texas with 2,660.83.
