Japan emerges as the top year-end holiday destination for young Singapore travellers

Travellers also favored regional destinations like Australia, Malaysia, China, and South Korea.

Japan has emerged as the top year-end holiday destination for Singapore’s Generation Alpha and Generation Z (37%), as travellers focus on destinations closer to home, according to Hilton.

Hilton reported that nine out of ten destinations searched by Singapore travelers on Hilton.com for the December 21 to January 3 period were within the Asia Pacific region, underscoring a strong preference for intra-regional travel.

Other popular destinations in the region include Australia (26%), Malaysia (25%), as well as China and South Korea (both 23%).

Among cities, Japan stands out as a clear favorite, with Tokyo being the most searched destination, followed by Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur in second and third place, respectively.

Interest in China has also grown significantly, with searches for Beijing increasing by 48%, Shanghai by 81%, and Guangzhou by 87%.

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.
