When travellers should book

Klook booking data shows the lowest typical rate is in February at typically around USD 140, while the highest typical rate is in July at typically around USD 247; February suits a budget-led trip. Most travellers lock in a room about 49 days ahead, and the earliest planners book about 118 days ahead. Rooms here are usually booked well in advance, and that tendency strengthens in the priciest months, according to Klook booking data.
