With culinary travel on the rise across Asia this year, digital travel platform 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, with 14 per cent 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 and Malaysia follow close behind to round out the top three nationalities with high demand for breakfast-included stays. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia and Vietnam round out the top eight Asian travellers most likely to care about the availability of a complimentary breakfast.
Andrew Smith, senior vice president of Supply at Agoda shared, “For many travellers, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, offering fuel to power their adventures and the opportunity to sample local flavours. With Agoda’s user-friendly platform and search features, travellers can easily find accommodations that cater to their breakfast preferences, ensuring a great start to their day.”
