Hotelupwell.com – RedDoorz, the best multi-brand hospitality and hotel platform in Southeast Asia, presented the latest survey results at the RedDoorz Instagram Live Streaming event with the theme Staycation or Vacation, Thursday (27/6/2024) afternoon. The survey results show that the trend for holidays outside the city (vacation) is again dominating compared to holidays within the city (staycation).
From the results of a survey of 100 respondents, 75.9 percent of people preferred to go on holiday compared to 24.1 percent who chose to have a staycation during the school holidays in June and July this year. The biggest factors for people who prefer a vacation over a staycation are the opportunity to explore new places (75 percent), gain new experiences (63.3 percent), and the opportunity for adventure (35 percent).
Some of the activities they like when on holiday outside the city are seeing the sights (71 percent), culinary tours (65 percent) and going on adventures (45 percent). As with previous RedDoorz survey results, Yogyakarta, Bandung and Bali are still favorite destinations for tourists because of their cultural appeal and natural beauty.
Cut Nany Indriani, Head of Integrated Communications at RedDoorz, said that from a survey conducted, 68 percent of respondents said they would spend a holiday with their family in the near future. Most of them (71 percent) are Millennials (aged 26-45 years) who are married and have children.
While only 38 percent of Gen Z (aged 18-25 years) choose to vacation with their family, the rest prefer to vacation with friends or go on a solo trip. “This coincides with the school holidays which start from the Eid al-Adha holiday on June 17 to July 7,” he said.
Adhe Tora Karyana, Travel Influencer, agrees that he is really looking forward to the experience of going on vacation because it brings new and exciting experiences. He prefers to vacation outside the city and explore new things.
A different thing was conveyed by Rani Dilla, a mother and founder of the Traveling Mothers Community, who considered that a holiday in the city was still an interesting experience for her. The simple choice of having children is a consideration because he still likes vacationing in the city.
“As a parent, vacationing in the city can be a simple but not boring choice. I can invite my children to get to know the surrounding area more closely by exploring culinary delights while shopping but still feel safe and comfortable because they understand the surrounding environment better,” he continued.
RedDoorz itself is here to make the holiday experience more comfortable and memorable for both holiday and staycation lovers, as well as holiday enthusiasts with family, friends and solo travelers. RedDoorz has thousands of hotel choices spread across Indonesia.
“Budget hotels are still the main choice for tourists, but we see that more and more families and groups of tourists are choosing more luxurious accommodation such as villas,” concluded Cut Nany.
