Over half of S’poreans book LNY flights months ahead as long-haul spikes

Longer-haul trips and inbound demand also rise.

Over half (53%) of Lunar New Year travel bookings made by Singaporeans in 2026 were completed more than 60 days before departure, up three percentage points from 2025, according to Trip.com.

Data revealed a shift towards longer journeys, with mid- to long-haul flights accounting for 51% of bookings, up from 41% a year earlier.

Inbound travel demand to Singapore remained strong during the festive period, with China, Malaysia and Indonesia ranking as the top source markets for visitors. Thailand and Japan followed amongst the leading inbound markets.

In addition, the US, Myanmar, Japan, Laos, and Italy recorded the fastest growth in visitor numbers.

Universal Studios Singapore ranked as the most frequently booked attraction among inbound travellers, followed by Night Safari, Singapore DUCKtours, Jewel Changi Airport, and Skyline Luge Singapore.

Outbound travel also remained active, with Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Tokyo ranking as the most popular overseas destinations by bookings, followed by Penang and Taipei.

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.
