Headquartered in Singapore, Traveloka now fully enters the Japanese market to provide localized, comprehensive travel solutions tailored specifically to Japanese travelers.

Since its founding in 2012, the app has been downloaded over 140 million times globally and serves 40 million monthly active users. With more than 20 travel-related products—including flights, hotels, and activities—Traveloka positions itself as a true all-in-one platform designed to meet every traveler’s needs. Japan marks Traveloka’s eighth market, with the launch aimed at offering Japanese travelers a smoother, worry-free travel experience to Southeast Asia.

■ Background of Japan Market Entry and Growing Demand

Japan continues to be one of the largest outbound travel markets in the region, with steady growth in travel demand to Southeast Asia in recent years. Simultaneously, the rise in inbound tourism is further revitalizing the domestic travel market. As a trusted travel platform with deep operational strength in Southeast Asia, Traveloka is uniquely positioned to meet this growing demand. This market expansion into Japan reflects a strategic move to bridge Japanese travelers with authentic regional experiences through a localized platform that prioritizes ease, value, and reliability.

Traveloka’s recent “EPIC Sale”—launched for the first time in Japan from April 25 (Fri) to May 5 (Mon), 2025—reflects this momentum. The flagship campaign offered special pricing on flights, popular hotels, and travel activities, resulting in a 50% increase in transactions compared to the previous 14-day period. These results signal strong interest in Southeast Asian travel and the value of affordable pricing among Japanese consumers.

With cross-border travel between Japan and other Asian countries expected to continue growing, the demand for international travel to and from Japan is projected to rise in the coming years.

■Quote from Caesar Indra, President, Traveloka:

“We see a unique moment of opportunity,” said Caesar Indra, President of Traveloka. “Japan is aiming to welcome 60 million international visitors by 2030, with a strong focus on regional revitalization and sustainable tourism. At the same time, more Japanese travelers are now turning to Southeast Asia—drawn by its rich cultures, warm weather, and value-for-money experiences. This is where Traveloka can bridge both worlds—by offering localized services for Japanese users, while also helping Southeast Asians experience Japan in deeper, more meaningful ways.”

As Traveloka deepens its presence in the Japanese market, it remains committed to delivering experiences that meet the evolving needs of local travelers. Through a combination of compelling campaigns and continuously expanding partnerships, Traveloka will continue to enhance its services to provide even more comfortable and enriching travel experiences.
