JAKARTA, Indonesia, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Traveloka, Southeast Asia's leading all-in-one tech travel platform, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), Singapore's premier integrated resort destination. The collaboration is a direct response to Traveloka data showing accelerated Indonesian demand for Singapore experiences and reflects a shared commitment to strengthening regional tourism connectivity by enhancing how travelers discover, plan, and access RWS's luxurious stays, iconic dining, and world–class attractions through a seamless booking experience at Traveloka.

The numbers tell the story. Singapore ranks among the top three outbound destinations for Indonesian travelers on Traveloka. In 2026 to date, Universal Studios Singapore and Singapore Oceanarium at Resorts World Sentosa are the two most-searched attractions on the platform in Singapore. Search volumes for RWS attractions in February 2026 have doubled year-on-year, reflecting a strong demand for short-haul, experience-driven travel that combines leisure, entertainment, and family-friendly activities in one destination.

"Traveloka doesn't just move travelers. We use data to anticipate where they want to go before they've decided," said Baidi Li, Vice President of Commercial Traveloka. "Search volumes for RWS doubled year-on-year in February 2026. That demand signal drove this partnership. By combining our AI-powered recommendation engine with RWS's world-class product, we convert intent into bookings at scale, and deliver a genuinely seamless experience for Indonesian families planning their next trip."

Indonesia is one of RWS's top three priority source markets. While Universal Studios Singapore remains the most popular attraction for Indonesian travelers, data reveals a growing preference for integrated leisure experiences spanning dining, shopping and entertainment within a single destination. With the June school holiday approaching, this presents an ideal opportunity for Indonesian travelers to explore RWS's Summer of Treasures campaign. RWS is uniquely positioned to meet this evolving demand, offering premium accommodations such as The Laurus, Equarius Hotel, and Hotel Michael, alongside award-winning dining and world-class entertainment. This seamless integration of attractions, hospitality, and lifestyle amenities creates a convenient, end-to-end travel experience that resonates with Indonesian families and leisure travelers.

Jenny Wang, Acting Senior Vice President, Resort Sales & Marketing, RWS, said "Resorts World Sentosa continues to strengthen its position as Asia's lifestyle destination resort. Indonesia has always been an important market for RWS, and this partnership with Traveloka allows us to further expand our reach in Indonesia and further in Southeast Asia. By leveraging Traveloka's scale, strong user base and deep consumer insights, we are able to enhance how our offerings are discovered and experienced through more seamless and personalized options, while making it more convenient for travelers to plan and enjoy their visit to RWS's full range of offerings across accommodation, dining, and entertainment."

As part of the collaboration, Traveloka and RWS will introduce several joint initiatives to enhance customer engagement and expand access to integrated travel experiences.

• Exclusive benefits and special deals for Traveloka users.
• Convenient access to bundled travel packages that combine flights, accommodation, attractions, dining, and world-class events and entertainment on one platform.
• More tailored travel recommendations based on user preferences and insights.

To bring these initiatives to life, the RWS "Summer of Treasures" campaign, from 29 May to 30 August 2026, will be available for booking on Traveloka. Featuring global brand collaborations across Singapore Oceanarium, Universal Studios Singapore, Adventure Cove Waterpark, and other attractions within the resort. Indonesian travelers can look forward to pop culture experiences, football legend appearances, a sustainability festival, summer-inspired culinary menus, and elevated resort stays. It is the right product at the right moment for Indonesian families planning the June school break.

A date to remember

From March 2025 to December 2025, Traveloka tracked booking behavior across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Traffic rose more than 20% and transactions climbed close to 25% on double-digit dates such as 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 11.11, and 12.12, compared to surrounding days.

The more telling finding is what happened when no sale was running. Indonesia and Malaysia each recorded organic spikes of close to 10% in traffic and transactions on non-promotional double-digit dates. Singapore saw a more modest but consistent 5% lift. The takeaway is clear: sale or not, travelers see these dates as ideal days to plan their travel.

This is testament to the fact that travelers are increasingly attributing value to these dates, stemming from China's "Singles' Day", which has since been popularized by e-commerce giants.

Maximizing value

Armed with these insights, Traveloka's 2026 marketing calendar was shaped to keep up its end of the unspoken appointment, introducing a greater amount of "smaller" numbered sales (e.g. 1.1, 2.2) in Q1 2026. Traveloka customers responded in force, with Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam customer bases showing large growth of up to 70% in overall transaction value. March 2026 also saw Vietnam hitting a historical high in transactions during its 3.3 sale.

"Our users have shown that they want to plan their journeys around these numerically‑significant days, and we want to show up when they do. By aligning our marketing calendar with this behaviour, we not only meet consumer expectations but also create tangible value for them," said Alex Jung, Head of Marketing, Traveloka.

Where is Southeast Asia heading to?

Travel interest in the early part of the year sees East Asia as the predominant destination for SEA travelers. For Singapore, 2.2 saw a lot of interest in trips to Japan, Taiwan, Mainland China and the broader Southeast‑Asian region – especially for Sakura‑season and Chinese‑New‑Year travel. During 3.3, Singapore's outbound demand expanded internationally to include South Korea, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom, in addition to the core Mainland China ‑ Japan‑Taiwan corridor.

Malaysia's 2.2 sale saw strong outbound flows to Indonesia, China, Japan and Thailand, alongside its own domestic market, with 3.3 seeing even stronger performances by the domestic market and Indonesia as destinations. Thailand's 2.2 and 3.3 sales both centred on Japan, with Thailand itself remaining a key source. Similarly, Vietnam's travel profile consistently highlights Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam as principal outbound destinations.

Travel windows

The data from Q1 2026 reflects a wider trend of SEA travelers prioritizing booking travel to East Asia in the March - June window, but destination preferences shift noticeably towards the end of the year. From October to December, Singapore's outbound mix widens, with a clear uptick in European bookings alongside its usual Asian traffic. Malaysia also sees a broader spread extending to longer‑haul corridors such as Australia, India, Europe, and the Middle East. Thailand's share of non‑Southeast‑Asian destinations rose, although domestic travel still remains the dominant component.
