Asia Pacific travellers pick SG as their top travel destination

Travellers cite low COVID restrictions as a key factor for choosing Singapore.

Singapore was selected as the top travel destination by Asia Pacific travellers, a Visa study has revealed.

Based on the Visa Road to Travel Recovery, travellers in eight of 14 countries picked Singapore as the top country they wish to visit in the Asia Pacific because of its accessibility and low COVID restrictions.

“We are seeing more travellers coming into Singapore, since the easing of travel restrictions by countries all over the world,” Visa said.

Singaporeans, on the other hand, are planning to visit Australia, Thailand, and the United States in the next 12 months.

According to the study, Singaporeans consider whether a destination is quarantine-free (39%) when selecting a destination.

Other things they consider are flexibility in travel plans (48%) and receiving a free COVID-19 detection test before travelling (44%).

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.
