Agoda Unveils Five Gen Z Trends Set to Shape the Future of Travel in Asia
  1. TikTok inspiration: social media is the new travel guide
    Gen Z is blazing a trail on social media, with TikTok leading the way as their top source for travel inspiration. While Millennials lean on friends and family as their preferred source of recommendations, Gen Z is scrolling through TikTok (20%) and Instagram (14%) to discover their next adventure. Despite the digital influence, personal recommendations remain a close second (17%), proving that word-of-mouth still holds sway.
  2. Spontaneous spirit: Last-minute bookings on the rise
    In a world where plans can change in an instant, Gen Z embraces the thrill of last-minute travel more than any other generation. 20% of Gen Z book flights less than a week in advance, outpacing Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers. Accommodations follow suit, with one in four Gen Z travelers making bookings at the eleventh hour, showcasing their penchant for spontaneity.
  3. Traveling in tandem: Partnered adventures take the lead
    For Gen Z, travel is a shared experience, with 38% preferring to explore the world with a partner. Group trips with friends and family vacations also rank high, highlighting the importance of connection and companionship in their journeys. Millennials, on the other hand, prioritize family trips, reflecting a generational shift in travel dynamics.
  4. Cost-conscious journeys: Spending habits align across generations
    When it comes to travel spending, Gen Z and Millennials are on the same page. Both generations prefer to keep accommodation costs under USD 50 per person per night, with Gen Z more inclined to do so (56%) than their Millennial counterparts (44%). Meanwhile, 32% of Gen Z plan to spend between USD 51-100 per person per night compared to 41% of Millennials. This trend underscores a shared commitment to affordable travel without compromising on experiences.
  5. Wanderlust unites: The desire to travel transcends generations
    Despite differing preferences in where different generations find travel inspiration, when they book their travels, and who they go with, the desire to explore the world is universal. Nearly half of Gen Z and Millennials plan to embark on 1-3 trips this year, while a third are aiming for 4-6 adventures. This shared wanderlust bridges generational gaps, proving that the love for travel knows no bounds.

Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply at Agoda shared, "Gen Z is redefining travel with their digital-first approach and spontaneous spirit. At Agoda, we're thrilled to support their adventures with diverse options and the best deals in accommodations, flights and activities, ensuring every trip is as unique as they are."
