Accommodation searches surge 80% ahead of Hari Raya travel season

Thailand and Japan are the top two most-searched destinations amongst travellers from these countries

As Hari Raya approaches, Agoda has recorded an 80% month-on-month increase in accommodation searches from travellers in ASEAN countries, including Singapore.

According to Agoda, Thailand, and Japan are the top two most-searched destinations amongst travellers from these countries, with China, South Korea, and Taiwan rounding out the top five.

At the city level, Bangkok emerged as the most-searched destination, followed by Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Taipei, highlighting a mix of traditional holiday spots and rising interest in East Asian cultural experiences.

Hari Raya, or Eid al-Fitr, marks the end of Ramadan and is a time for celebration, travel, and family reunions.

The latest data suggested many travellers are seizing the opportunity to explore destinations beyond their home countries.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
