Agoda Insights: Nearly 80% Month-on-Month Increase in Accommodation Searches from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore Ahead of Hari Raya

SINGAPORE, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Hari Raya holiday approaches, Agoda sees an almost 80% month-on-month increase in accommodation searches from travelers in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore for this year's festive period. This increase reflects growing interest in travel, with travelers actively planning their getaways.

Hari Raya, or Eid al-Fitr, marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, reflection, and community for Muslims worldwide. It is a time for joy, connection, and celebration. For many, it's also the perfect opportunity to travel, whether to visit loved ones, return to hometowns, or to enjoy a well-earned holiday after a month of spiritual focus.

Travelers are showing an interest in exploring beyond their immediate regions. Thailand and Japan lead the way as the top two most-searched destinations among travelers from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, suggesting a desire for diverse cultural experiences during the festive break. China, South Korea, and Taiwan complete the top five, reflecting a blend of nearby and more distant travel interests.

When looking at the city level, Bangkok  steals the spotlight as the most-searched destination, followed by Tokyo and Seoul. Hong Kong secures the fourth spot, while Taipei rounds out the top five.

Gede Gunawan, Senior Country Director Indonesia at Agoda said: "Hari Raya is a time when travel becomes an important part of the celebration. It's great to see people looking forward to reconnecting with family, exploring new destinations, or simply taking a well-deserved break. The increase in searches compared to the previous month reflects the anticipation for travel and the desire to use the holiday for travel opportunities. At Agoda, we aim to ensure that wherever travelers choose to go, they can find the right accommodation at an affordable price, with a seamless booking experience."
