Rise of sleep tourism in Asia

Overview

A new travel trend known as ‘sleep tourism’ is emerging in Asia, characterized by travelers prioritizing rest, recovery, and stillness over traditional sightseeing. This movement is reportedly driven by rising burnout, chronic sleep deprivation, and increased wellness awareness, alongside the use of sleep-tracking wearables.

In Japan, specific hospitality initiatives have emerged, such as Hotel 1899 Tokyo’s ‘Totono-ne’ package. This program offers sleep diagnoses and personalized relaxation rituals, including customized tea blends and specialized sleep environments.

Beyond Japan, Agoda has identified several other regional destinations suited for this trend, including Kinosaki Onsen in Japan for its bathhouses, Khao Yai in Thailand for nature immersion, Sumba in Indonesia for its quiet environments, and Damyang in South Korea for its bamboo forests and forest bathing trails.
