AS THE culinary tourism trend in Asia has risen this year, digital travel platform Agoda has shown that Indonesian travelers are increasingly prioritizing accommodations with breakfast. According to searches conducted on Agoda during August, nearly one in ten Indonesian travelers used the breakfast filter when searching for accommodation.
Free breakfast is an important consideration for many Indonesian travelers when booking a hotel. This feature ranks as the second most popular search filter on Agoda, right after the star rating. This demonstrates the importance of breakfast as part of the travel experience.
The choice of staying with breakfast also underscores a broader trend among travelers seeking convenience and added value. Besides providing a more convenient start to the day, free breakfast also provides an opportunity to experience local flavors and hospitality. This trend is particularly evident in Asia, with a wide variety of breakfast menu options ranging from traditional dishes to international favorites.
According to Gede Gunawan, Agoda’s Senior Country Director for Indonesia, said breakfast is the most sought-after complimentary amenity among Indonesian travelers. They are even willing to allocate more budget to enjoy a quality breakfast, with a diverse menu, authentic local flavors, and excellent service.
“With Agoda’s easy-to-use search filters, travelers can quickly find the best hotel to suit their needs and preferences,” he said.
Travelers looking for accommodation with breakfast can search on Agoda, which offers over 6 million vacation rentals, 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities, all easily combined into one booking. [sources/photo special]
