MANILA, Philippines, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda's 2025 Sustainable Travel Survey reveals its ranking of Asia's most sustainability-conscious travelers.

Travelers from the Philippines earn the top spot, with 86% responding that sustainability is important in their travel choices for 2025, higher than the average for all Asian travelers combined (68%). Travelers from India (82%), Taiwan (80%), Malaysia (80%) and Vietnam (77%) round out the top five.

This survey, which engaged over 6,000 respondents across 11 Asian markets, spotlights the evolving landscape of sustainable travel in Asia, where authentic and purposeful tourism, and off-peak travel are becoming more prominent.

Authentic Experiences Drive More Sustainable Choices

Filipino travelers are increasingly motivated by the opportunity to contribute positively to local communities (25%) and authentic experiences (22%) as their primary motivation for more sustainable travel. This trend underscores a broader movement towards travel that is not only enjoyable but also meaningful and impactful.

Exploring Off-peak Takes Center Stage

Filipino travelers also seek to mitigate their impact on the environment by traveling during off-peak seasons to alleviate overcrowding, a choice made by 18% of respondents. Additionally, 17% of travelers are opting for accommodations with sustainability certifications while 19% are packing reusable items like water bottles and shopping bags on a trip to reduce waste.
