Singaporeans want sustainable travel, but only 4 in 10 will pay more

Of those willing, one in five travellers will pay up to 5% more. ​

Most Singaporeans (96.4%) are drawn to sustainable travel, though only a few (41%) will pay extra for it.

Of those who are willing to pay extra, Trip.com reported that one in five travellers is willing to pay up to 5% more for sustainable travel.

Travellers from Asia Pacific, including Singaporeans, are more likely to pay a premium for sustainable travel compared to those from North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

In APAC, only three in 10 travellers opt out of paying extra, compared to 53.0%, 49.4%, and 47.3% of travellers in North America, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa, respectively.

Meanwhile, Trip.com found that Singaporeans regularly search for sustainable options when booking trips online, with around six in 10 expecting clear labels and sustainable travel tips.

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.
