SG emerges as Southeast Asia's hub for luxury and business travel

This was evidenced by the three-digit growth figures in Vista’s flight traffic.

Singapore is emerging as Southeast Asia’s main hub for luxury experiences and financial conferences, according to a Vista report.

The report said this was evidenced by the three-digit growth figures in Vista’s flight traffic during key event periods.

Singapore saw a staggering 362% increase in flight traffic during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, significantly above its 2024 daily average.

The Singapore Grand Prix also drove a 168% surge in daily average flight traffic, whilst it coincided with other major financial events in the city, such as The Milken Institute Asia Summit and Global Trade Review Congress.

Meanwhile, the Singapore Yachting Festival supported a 46% higher business jet traffic. Vista’s private jet marketplace doubled flight traffic year-on-year in Singapore

Sanlorenzo Asia Pacific’s Ewa Stachurska said the city-state is emerging as a premier yachting hub with eight boat clubs and marinas and 4000 boats and yachts.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
