With culinary travel on the rise across Asia this year, Asian travellers are most eager to book accommodations with a complimentary breakfast, according to a new rankings by a travel platform. 

According to searches made on Agoda in August, Indian travelers are leading the charge in prioritising breakfast-included stays among Asian travelers, with 14 per cent using the breakfast filter as part of their accommodation searches.


A complimentary breakfast is a key consideration for many Asian travelers when booking accommodations. This amenity ranks as the second most popular search filter on the travel platform, 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 travelers 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 per cent) and Malaysia (12 per cent) follow close behind to round out the top three nationalities with high demand for breakfast-included stays. 

Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia (all 9 per cent) and Vietnam (8 per cent) round out the top eight Asian travelers most likely to care about the availability of a complimentary breakfast.

“Indian travelers 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,” said Gaurav Malik, country director, Indian Subcontinent & Indian Ocean Islands at Agoda.
