And reuniting with loved ones, wellness and food, arts & culture made the top three with adventure and celebrating a milestone rounding out the top five.

According to the survey, which polled over 10,000 travellers from Australia the US and several Asian countries revealed Australia, Taiwan, and the United States are where travellers will most likely plan a holiday reunion with family or friends.

But key motivations for travel in other countries, for example South Korea, Thailand and Singapore  revolve around the mental and physical, which contributed to wellness placing second in the ‘reasons to travel’ ranking of Agoda’s Travel Trend survey. 

Among people from Japan (44 percent), Taiwan (24 percent) and Vietnam (23 percent), the biggest travel appetite is for rediscovering food, arts and culture. The Japanese percentage is, in fact the highest number for any travel objective in a single country and four times more than Philippines. Here, only 11 percent are looking to travel for food, arts and culture; seeking adventure is the main reason to leave home (30 percent).

Adventure travel also ranks highest among travellers from Indonesia (23 percent).
