Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Seoul remained the most popular destinations for Singapore travellers.

Meanwhile, flight bookings for Shanghai, Guangzhou, Sydney, and Tokyo recorded the fastest growth, growing by over 30% YoY.

Other destinations, including Da Nang and Yangon, also entered the top 10 fastest-growing list.

Hotels accounted for almost 90% of accommodation bookings. Travellers booked trips nearly two months in advance on average.

Singapore also ranked third amongst the top international destinations for Chinese travellers, behind Seoul and Bangkok.
