Traveloka SEA Index Q2 2026 Highlights Longer Stays and Regional Beach Destinations
Traveloka released its inaugural SEA Index for Q2 2026, analyzing travel patterns across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam using first-party booking data. The report shows Southeast Asian travelers are booking longer stays and favoring regional beaches like Vietnam's islands, Thailand's beaches, and Malaysia's shores. Outbound travel remains strong, particularly to East Asia and China's second-tier cities. The index ranks destinations by year-on-year booking growth, highlighting a trend toward richer, more immersive travel experiences within and beyond Southeast Asia.
