More Asian travelers are eyeing a trip to the United States for Thanksgiving taking place at the last days of November.

Digital travel platform Agoda reports a 15-percent year-on-year increase in accommodation searches for the US by travelers from Asian markets this Thanksgiving. The increase in searches suggests a growing enthusiasm among Asian travelers to experience the Thanksgiving holiday in the US.

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 origin, followed by South Korea, Taiwan, India, and the Philippines.

"Thanksgiving in the US is a unique cultural experience, and it's fantastic to see more travelers 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," Tarik Fadil, Vice President, Supply at Agoda said.

Agoda provides travelers 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. 

Agoda looked at accommodation searches on its platform made between Oct. 16 to Nov. 15, 2024, with November 2024 (Thanksgiving Day) as the check-in date.
