Hospitality is an intrinsic part of Asian cultures and it’s no secret that travellers from around the world want to immerse themselves in these diverse communities, that’s why, nine out of the top 16 trending destinations globally on Airbnb between June and August, were in Asia Pacific countries. China led the top three cities to visit.

In addition, curious Asia Pacific travellers have also been busy exploring global neighbourhoods, with 7.5 million guest arrivals hailing from Asia Pacific.
