Traveloka, a travel booking platform offering one-stop reservations for hotels, flights, activities, airport transfers, and car rentals, will officially launch its services in Japan on May 28, 2025. The company is headquartered in Singapore.
Traveloka, Southeast Asia's largest travel booking platform, has been operating in seven countries: Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, garnering significant support in each market. Since its founding in 2012, the app has surpassed 140 million cumulative downloads and is used by over 40 million active users. The platform offers more than 20 travel-related products, including flights, hotels, and activities, steadily growing as an all-in-one destination for users' travel needs.
The company will now enter the Japanese market as its eighth country, aiming to provide Japanese travelers with a smoother and more secure travel experience.
Background of Japan Expansion and Future Demand
Japan remains one of the largest outbound travel markets in the APAC region, with a steady increase in travel demand to Southeast Asia in recent years. Concurrently, the domestic tourism market is being revitalized by a surge in inbound visitors. Traveloka, a trusted travel platform with a proven operational track record in Southeast Asia, is uniquely positioned to meet this growing demand. Its full-scale launch in Japan signifies a strategic initiative to connect Japanese travelers with authentic Southeast Asian experiences through a localized platform that prioritizes ease of use, value, and reliability.
During the "Traveloka EPIC Sale" held from April 25 to May 5, 2025, which offered special prices on flights, popular hotels, and travel activities, transaction volume increased by 50% compared to the preceding 14 days. This clearly demonstrates a high demand for travel to Southeast Asia and a strong interest in affordable options.
As travel between Asian countries is expected to become even more active, demand for international travel originating from or arriving in Japan is projected to expand further.

Comment from Traveloka CEO, Caesar Indra
"We feel a great opportunity is unfolding right now. Japan aims to welcome 60 million inbound tourists by 2030 and is focusing on regional revitalization and sustainable tourism. Meanwhile, in Southeast Asia, there's a growing number of young travelers interested in Japan, and simultaneously, many Japanese travelers are visiting Southeast Asia seeking its rich culture, warm climate, and cost-effective experiences. Traveloka will serve as a bridge connecting these two groups, offering a user-friendly, localized service to Japanese users and opportunities for Southeast Asian travelers to experience Japan more deeply."
With the full-scale launch in the Japanese market, Traveloka will continue to enhance its services by focusing on the needs of Japanese users and expanding its range of campaigns and content. Through attractive promotions and the development of expanding partnerships, Traveloka aims to continuously improve its services and provide more comfortable and fulfilling travel experiences.
