Exploring the Trends: What the EPIC Sale 2024 Revealed About Traveler Preferences
Beyond the impressive numbers, EPIC Sale 2024 unveiled key insights into Southeast Asian travel behaviors and preferences, providing a deeper understanding of what drives today’s travelers. Here are the standout trends:

Top Destinations Revealed: Southeast Asia’s Most Popular Escapes
Traveloka’s EPIC Sale 2024 unveiled the region’s most sought-after destinations, with Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong SAR consistently ranking among the top choices for millions of travelers. Japan captivated travelers with its seamless blend of Tokyo’s modernity and Kyoto’s timeless traditions. South Korea attracted visitors with its vibrant cities and rich cultural heritage. Hong Kong SAR stood out for its dynamic cityscape and diverse attractions. Thailand remained a favorite for its idyllic beaches and rich cultural experiences, while Singapore and Vietnam impressed with their unique mix of urban sophistication and breathtaking natural beauty.

Booking Behavior: A Blend of Planning and Spontaneity
EPIC Sale 2024 revealed two dominant booking behaviors: a surge in last-minute bookings and a strong preference for advance planning. 82% of travelers booked their trips 3-4 days in advance, indicating a growing demand for spontaneous, short-term travel. Traveloka’s diverse offerings effectively cater to both spontaneous and organized travelers, ensuring broad appeal across the region.

Accommodation Trends: Meeting Diverse Traveler Needs
During the EPIC Sale, travelers benefited from a comprehensive range of discounted accommodations. Leisure travelers favored spacious rooms, business travelers prioritized functionality, and families opted for larger suites with family-friendly amenities.

The positive impact of the EPIC Sale on accommodations was evident. Chris Legaspi, Chief Commercial Officer of Archipelago International, stated: “Our support for this special program reaffirms our commitment to continuously offering attractive deals that ensure travelers obtain the best accommodation throughout their journeys.

Matthew Faull, Executive Director and Senior Vice President of E-commerce, Distribution,  and IT at Swiss-Belhotel International, echoed this sentiment: “Our collaboration with Traveloka during the EPIC Sale was a tremendous success. We worked together to deliver outstanding value to our customers, and the results speak for themselves. This partnership has truly been a game-changer, and we are delighted with the positive outcomes. Traveloka is a valued partner.”

The EPIC Sale 2024 showcased a significant shift toward family-friendly attractions, with bookings for theme parks and waterparks soaring by 70%. These destinations, offering a mix of thrills and relaxation, became top choices for adventure seekers of all ages. Popular attractions such as LEGOLAND Malaysia, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Resorts World Sentosa, saw bookings surge up to four times, highlighting the growing demand for family-oriented experiences.
