2 in 5 Singaporeans bit by the travel bug

Encouraged by vaccinations, more Singaporeans plan to travel in the next three months.

Approximately two in five, or 44% of Singaporean adults plan to travel in the next three months, according to the latest Finder’s Travel Index.

This is much higher than the 20% recorded in its June survey.

A third of Singaporeans (34%) plan to travel domestically, up from 12% from the last survey, whilst 21% plan to travel internationally, up 10% from the last survey.

“We’ve seen a monumental jump in the percentage of Singaporeans interested in travel over the past month, with the number of people planning short-term travel more than doubling from June to July. It’s likely this is in part due to the recent ‘Test, Trace, and Vaccinate’ campaign for Singapore’s shift to a new normal,” said Finder’s global editor-at-large Angus Kidman in a press statement.

However, Kidman added that Singaporeans might have to hold back on their travel plans as tightened restrictions are expected to stay until mid-August.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
