Solo Travel Surges in Malaysia as 94% Plan Independent Trips, Says Scoot Survey

A white paper by Scoot, based on a YouGov survey of over 5,000 respondents in APAC, reveals a rising trend in solo travel among Malaysians. 94% of Malaysians plan to travel solo, while 61% have already done so. Motivated by self-discovery, wellbeing, and the freedom to plan personal itineraries, Malaysians—especially millennials—are increasingly choosing solo travel as a lifestyle. Notably, 86% would recommend solo travel to others.

“While the findings do not represent the end to group and family travel, the way we travel expresses our individuality and allows for self-discovery.” – Agatha Yap, Director of Marketing, Scoot

“With an extensive network especially in the Asia-Pacific, Scoot is excited to be able to play a role in enabling access to some of the most sought-after and yet-to-be discovered destinations, empowering more travellers, whether solo or group, to explore the world with greater confidence and enthusiasm,” she added.
