Outbound flight bookings rise 15% during Labour Day period

Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Sydney are among the fastest-growing picks for travellers.

Outbound flight bookings from Singapore grew 15% year-on-year (YoY) during the Labour Day holiday period, according to a Trip.com Group report.

Multi-city bookings increased 16%, indicating that more travellers are adding additional stops to their itineraries over the three-day break.

Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Seoul remained the most popular destinations for Singapore travellers.

Meanwhile, flight bookings for Shanghai, Guangzhou, Sydney, and Tokyo recorded the fastest growth, growing by over 30% YoY.

Other destinations, including Da Nang and Yangon, also entered the top 10 fastest-growing list.

Hotels accounted for almost 90% of accommodation bookings. Travellers booked trips nearly two months in advance on average.

Separately, China remained the largest source market for inbound travel to Singapore during the same period, followed by Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Singapore also ranked third amongst the top international destinations for Chinese travellers, behind Seoul and Bangkok.

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.
