Digital travel platform Agoda reports that many Asian travellers are eyeing a trip to the United States for Thanksgiving this year.
The most recent report showed a 15 percent Year-on-Year (YoY) increase in accommodation searches for the United States by travellers from Asian markets this Thanksgiving.
The increase in searches suggests a growing enthusiasm among Asian travellers to experience the Thanksgiving holiday in the US.
According to Agoda’s vice-president for supply Tarik Fadil: “Thanksgiving in the U.S. is a unique cultural experience, and it’s fantastic to see more travellers from Asia eager to partake in it this year. At Agoda, we’re thrilled to be the bridge that connects these curious explorers with their holiday adventures, ensuring they have everything they need for a memorable Thanksgiving feast stateside.”
Who’s flying in for the holiday?
South Korea leads the list of Asian markets showing interest in US Thanksgiving travel, followed by Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Singapore.
The ranking differs from 2023, when Japan was the top point of origin, followed by South Korea, Taiwan, India, and the Philippines.
Agoda provides travellers from Asian markets with access to over 4.5 million holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities, making it easy to seamlessly plan a trip, for Thanksgiving or any other reason.
These options can be combined in the same booking, allowing travellers to tailor their holiday experience.
