(Central News Agency reporter Yu Xiaoxuan, Taipei, 6th) Accommodation platform operators point out that in the past, Taiwanese travelers' accommodation booking habits were guided by location and price, but recently, they have gradually shifted to using reviews and whether meals are provided as key keywords for booking.
Many travelers consider many aspects when booking accommodation during their trips. Accommodation booking platform Agoda issued a press release stating that when Taiwanese travelers choose accommodation, they no longer only look at location and price; 'reviews' have become the most critical decisive factor, showing that more and more people refer to the experiences of other travelers to ensure the overall accommodation experience.
Agoda pointed out that Taiwanese travelers value practical conditions. Among the top 10 popular searches, 'whether meals are included' accounts for three, with breakfast, afternoon tea, and even dinner options being listed. In contrast, the extremely popular 'swimming pool' in various Asian countries did not even make it into the top 10 search list for Taiwanese people.
Agoda stated that this reflects the increasing acceptance among Taiwanese people for a 'stay + eat' integrated travel experience. Compared to other Asian markets, Taiwanese travelers' emphasis on dining is particularly evident, making them one of the few markets that simultaneously include multiple dining conditions in the top 10 searches.
Agoda pointed out that in Taiwan, a country with a deep food culture, dining naturally becomes an important part of the travel experience. It is clear that accommodation is no longer just for overnight stays, but part of the entire journey experience; 'eating well' has become a key factor in booking.
Agoda Taiwan General Manager Chai Chi-shan stated that they have observed more and more Taiwanese travelers hoping that accommodation is not just a place to rest, but a complete experience combining dining, comfort, and convenience. At the same time, practical conditions such as parking are still important, reflecting that travelers are more flexible and value the overall experience when planning their itineraries.
