Flight bookings to Jeju among Traveloka’s Singapore users doubled year-on-year, according to data released by the travel platform on 9 November. The South Korean island also topped Traveloka’s international destination list for Singapore in its third-quarter 2026 index.
Traveloka attributed part of the growth to improved access through the direct flight route to Jeju. The company did not disclose absolute booking numbers, making it difficult to assess the scale of demand.
The year-on-year increase comes from a separate year-to-date analysis, rather than the third-quarter index, which covers July to September. The figures reflect bookings made through Traveloka, not the wider Singapore outbound travel market.
Other Southeast Asian markets show different patterns
Traveloka’s data also showed increased bookings to secondary destinations in Japan and China across four other Southeast Asian markets.
Among Indonesian users, flight bookings to Fukuoka rose by more than 20% year-on-year, while hotel bookings in the Japanese city increased by nearly 75%.
In Vietnam, flight and accommodation bookings for Hangzhou more than doubled year-on-year following the introduction of new routes. Hangzhou also topped Traveloka’s international destination list for Vietnam in the third-quarter index.
Among Thai users, Chengdu doubled its share of China flight and accommodation bookings. Traveloka partly attributed the increase to the city’s visibility on social media.
For Malaysian users, Xiamen more than doubled its share of China flight bookings on the platform.
The findings point to different destination preferences across Southeast Asia, although Traveloka did not provide absolute booking volumes for the markets covered.
