SG emerges as Southeast Asia's hub for luxury and business travel

This was evidenced by the three-digit growth figures in Vista’s flight traffic.

Singapore is emerging as Southeast Asia’s main hub for luxury experiences and financial conferences, according to a Vista report.

The report said this was evidenced by the three-digit growth figures in Vista’s flight traffic during key event periods.

Singapore saw a staggering 362% increase in flight traffic during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, significantly above its 2024 daily average.

The Singapore Grand Prix also drove a 168% surge in daily average flight traffic, whilst it coincided with other major financial events in the city, such as The Milken Institute Asia Summit and Global Trade Review Congress.

Meanwhile, the Singapore Yachting Festival supported a 46% higher business jet traffic. Vista’s private jet marketplace doubled flight traffic year-on-year in Singapore

Sanlorenzo Asia Pacific’s Ewa Stachurska said the city-state is emerging as a premier yachting hub with eight boat clubs and marinas and 4000 boats and yachts.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
