How Singapore tourism will gain from ASEAN's robust travel outlook

Travel frequency seen to spike.

According to DBS, boosted by rapid economic growth, growing affluence and a burgeoning middle class fueling demand for travel, most notably by two major visitor source markets – China and India; the Asia and the Pacific region has been one of the most vibrant tourism markets globally over the past decade.

Here's more from DBS:

The Southeast Asia (SEA) region has been a key beneficiary of the strong growth in intra-regional travel. We believe that Singapore remains well placed to benefit from the structural growth trend in travel within the ASEAN region.

Factors such as the continued growth of Low Cost Carriers will result in increased travel frequency within the region, while the rising affluence of the middle class, especially in China and India will result in increased aspiration to travel.

These factors will continue to drive the increase in travel frequency and influence travel patterns going forward.

Singapore, with its location and reputation as one of Asia’s premier travel destinations, has and will continue to be a beneficiary of this trend. It is noted that Singapore is one of the most visited countries within Asia after Malaysia, with a market share of close to 16% of total visitors.

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.
