Commentary: Why Booking Windows Matter for STRs in Asia

 

The 2024 full year and 2025 YTD data make one thing clear: Asia is not APAC — and booking behavior reflects it.

For STR property managers, looking only at a “regional average” booking window of 70–80 days is misleading. Our data shows a clear split between domestic and international guests:


  • Domestic travelers typically book within 7–15 days before arrival, driven by last-minute getaways, family travel, and regional mobility.
     
  • International guests — especially from Europe and North America — book 60–100 days in advance, locking in long-haul trips to destinations like Bali, Phuket, or Vietnam’s coast.
     

This dual pattern is vital for operators:

  • Relying only on short-term pricing strategies risks missing higher-value international bookings.
     
  • Over-emphasizing long lead times risks losing domestic demand that fills gaps at short notice.
     

 Takeaway for STR property managers: success in Asia means planning for both curves — the late-booking domestic market and the early-booking international segment. It’s not “APAC averages”; it’s about understanding the true shape of demand in Asia.

Bilingual Contracts in Asia: A Guide for Real Estate and Tourism

Contracts in Asia often hinge on language for enforceability. In markets such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and China, agreements that are not drafted in the local language can risk being declared invalid—or at the very least, unenforceable in disputes.


This guide highlights why bilingual contracts (local language + English) are considered best practice across the region, especially in real estate and tourism sectors. By adopting bilingual agreements, investors, operators, and partners reduce legal risk, improve clarity, and build trust with local stakeholders.


⚠️ Important: This resource is for general informational purposes only. Contract laws and requirements vary by country and may change over time. Always consult local authorities, qualified lawyers, or licensed notaries before entering into any legal agreement.


👉 Download the full guide below to learn more about the bilingual contract requirements across Asia.
