"how many people, when traveling, opt to use the kitchen even once rather than eat out?"

All those with small children, to start with.

Certainly budget-conscious people too. And some places have great local fish, meat, and produce markets.

Depends on whether I'm traveling or vacationing. For a brief vacation I'll probably eat out every meal. But if I'm traveling, I'll probably want to conserve money plus get tired of big meals. Even on a vacation that goes about a week long I'd probably eat in a kitchen a couple times if I could.

Having access to a kitchen may be the main reason that I much prefer AirBnB when traveling. I can't stand being forced to eat every single meal out of the house during an entire trip.

Actually, visiting a local market and cooking at least one meal at "home" sounds like a great break from all the restaurants and cafés.

Most?
