Singaporeans crowned Asia’s biggest leisure spenders with $3,190 average trip budget

Klook’s 2026 report shows Singapore travellers outspend regional peers on 7+ night trips.

Singaporeans are the highest long-leisure travel spenders in Asia in 2026, with an average expected spend of $3,190 (US$2,500) for trips of seven nights or more, according to Klook’s Travel Pulse 2026.

Of those surveyed, 90% plan to maintain or increase their budgets for activities, tours, and experiences, Klook said.

Over 80% of Singaporeans traveled overseas in 2025, above the global average of 60%, the report noted.

Nearly half are planning a trip within three to six months, whilst eight in 10 plan at least one short-haul trip and nine in 10 a medium- or long-haul trip over the next 12 months, Klook added.

Japan remains the top destination, with growing interest in cities beyond Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, including Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Sapporo.

Mainland China is also popular, with Singaporeans considering Chengdu, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Harbin, and Suzhou, according to the report.

50% plan to increase spending on food, dining, and activities, including outdoor adventures and theme or water parks, Klook added.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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