Indian travellers prioritise breakfast-included stays: Agoda
Agoda Unveils Popularity of Breakfast-Included Stays
Leading the charge in prioritising breakfast-included stays among Asian travellers, with 14% using the breakfast filter as part of their accommodation searches.
With culinary travel on the rise across Asia this year, Agoda’s latest ranking reveals which Asian travellers are most eager to book accommodations with a complimentary breakfast. According to searches made on Agoda in August, Indian travellers are leading the charge in prioritising breakfast-included stays among Asian travellers, with 14% using the breakfast filter as part of their accommodation searches.
A complimentary breakfast is a key consideration for many Asian travellers when booking accommodations. This amenity ranks as the second most popular search filter on Agoda, just after star ratings, underscoring the importance of a hearty breakfast as a staple of the travel experience.
The preference for breakfast-included stays also highlights a broader trend among travellers who seek convenience and value in their accommodation experiences. A complimentary breakfast not only provides a cost-effective start to the day but also offers a taste of local flavours and hospitality. This trend is particularly evident in the diverse culinary offerings available across Asia, where breakfast can range from traditional dishes to international favourites.
Indian travellers are not the only ones looking to start their travels sunny side up. Thailand (13%) and Malaysia (12%) follow close behind to round out the top three nationalities with high demand for breakfast-included stays. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia (all 9%) and Vietnam (8%) round out the top eight Asian travellers most likely to care about the availability of a complimentary breakfast.
“Indian travellers are clearly showing their preference for stays that include breakfast, with one in seven using this filter when searching for accommodation on Agoda. This highlights the growing demand for convenience, value, and authentic experiences while traveling. Agoda’s easy-to-use platform and intuitive search filters make it simple for travellers to find properties that meet their needs, whether they’re looking for comfort, budget, or unique local flavours. By offering a seamless booking experience, we aim to help travellers make the most of their journeys with confidence and ease,” said Gaurav Malik, Country Director, Indian Subcontinent & Indian Ocean Islands at Agoda.
