(Central News Agency reporter Yu Hsiao-han, Taipei, 3rd) Data from travel operators shows that during this year's Labor Day holiday, "multi-city travel" in the Asia-Pacific region grew by 35% compared to the same period last year, indicating that "multi-destination travel" is gradually becoming a mainstream travel model.
Travel operator Trip.com issued a press release stating that during this year's Labor Day holiday, the annual growth rate of "multi-city travel" in the Asia-Pacific region reached 35% compared to the same period last year. As Japan, South Korea, China, and some Southeast Asian countries simultaneously welcome the Labor Day holiday, cross-border travel within the region has been driven, leading to strong double-digit growth in Taiwan's outbound air ticket bookings. This shows that Taiwanese travelers' demand for cross-border travel continues to rebound strongly.
Trip.com stated that currently, more than 30% of international travel covers multiple destinations, and its booking growth rate is more than double that of traditional single-point travel. This indicates that travelers' planning methods are continuously changing, with more and more travelers preferring to connect multiple cities in one trip to maximize time and travel value.
Trip.com mentioned that this trend is also reflected in the behavior of Taiwanese travelers. Data shows that the average outbound travel days for Taiwanese travelers is 5.77 days, nearly a week-long itinerary, further driving "two-city" and even "multi-city" connection approaches. For example, combinations like Tokyo plus Osaka, Seoul plus Busan, which balance urban exploration and leisure experience, are popular options for Taiwanese travelers.
In addition, travel operator Booking.com stated via a press release that according to the latest 2026 Travel & Sustainability Report, although up to 85% of travelers across all age groups believe that more sustainable travel methods are very important, and younger generations show high willingness, it is actually the older generations who demonstrate clearer execution in taking concrete actions.
Booking.com explained that among respondents willing to practice sustainable travel, up to 67% of respondents aged 61 and above stated they would reduce general waste during their travels, a significantly higher proportion than the 45-60 age group and 29-44 age group, while less than half of the 18-28 age group did so; 60% of respondents aged 61 and above saved energy during their accommodation, such as turning off air conditioning and lights when leaving the room, a proportion also higher than younger age groups.
