Chart of the Day: More Singaporeans plan to travel abroad in 2023

A study found that 52% intend to travel internationally next year.

A total of 52% of Singaporeans plan to travel internationally next year, up from 39% in 2022, the e-Conomy SEA 2022 report found.

The study, conducted by Google, Temasek, and Bain & Company, found Singaporeans lead in terms of intent to travel overseas, followed by Malaysians and Vietnamese.

Malaysia and Vietnam in particular saw a 135% and 98% growth after individuals planning to travel jumped from 17% to 40% and from 19% to 38% over the same period, respectively.

“On the flip side, enthusiasm for domestic travel is dipping across all consumer segments—with the exception of suburban consumers, of whom 50% more plan to travel within the country in 2023,” the report noted.

Moreover, 31% of Indonesian consumers plan to travel abroad, followed by 30% and 22% in the Philippines and Thailand, respectively.

The report noted that domestic travel is highlighted in countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia, where governments offer incentive schemes to boost domestic travel.

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.
