Manado, Indonesia, has rapidly emerged as a new resort destination since the launch of new direct flight routes last year, prompting the travel industry to expand related products.

According to an analysis of reservation data by Kyowon Tour (CEO Jang Dong-ha), Manado accounted for 20% of all Southeast Asia reservations in the second quarter of this year, a 14 percentage point increase from the previous quarter.

This surge in demand is attributed to significantly improved accessibility following the opening of direct flight routes, as well as a travel trend favoring new destinations. While Bali, Phuket, Cebu, Guam, Saipan, and Nha Trang have established themselves as representative resort destinations, interest in new destinations like Manado is growing. Manado is emerging as a new destination due to its eco-friendly resort character and improved accessibility via direct flights.

Manado is known as the "hidden paradise of Indonesia" for its natural scenery combining vast dormant volcanic terrain with emerald-colored seas. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful resort experience and observe various marine life, including sea turtles and coral reefs, through snorkeling.

Interest in Manado and travel demand were also confirmed on the live commerce channel "Easy Time Deal." Following high interest in the Manado episode broadcast on the 13th of last month, an encore broadcast was additionally scheduled for the 28th of the same month.

Kyowon Tour introduced the "Hidden Gem of Southeast Asia: Manado 5-Day" package, designed for a fulfilling Manado travel experience. The package is structured with no tips, no options, and no shopping, and includes accommodation at the Paradise Hotel Golf & Resort. The itinerary features a Coral Tour to view coral reefs and tropical fish within the resort, as well as visits to Tangkoko National Park, Raha Island, Tuman Waterfall, and a night fishing schedule.

A Kyowon Tour representative stated, "Manado has gained attention as a new resort destination with significantly improved accessibility since the opening of direct flight routes. We plan to continuously target Manado travel demand by leveraging its eco-friendly environment and differentiated marine activities."
