Singapore ranks 8th most searched destination for Valentine’s Day: Agoda

The city-state trails behind other major Asian countries.

Singapore ranked eighth as the most popular destination for couples looking for a Valentine’s Day getaway this year, according to travel trends collated by digital travel platform Agoda.

Data from Agoda showed Asian cities dominated the top ten most searched international destinations for couples on 14 February, eight of which being cosmopolitan hubs.

“The diversity in this year's top searched destinations highlights the broad spectrum of experiences couples are seeking,” Andrew Smith, senior vice president of supply at Agoda, said.

Singapore ranks behind Phuket, Thailand, in the seventh spot, but is still higher than Fukuoka, Japan (9th) and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (10th).

Bangkok topped the list as being the most searched international destination, followed by Tokyo and Osaka in second and third place, respectively. Seoul, (4th) Hong Kong (5th) and Bali (6th) follow.

Agoda noted that this year’s list reflects interest in “exploring dynamic urban environments” but still maintains the appeal of tropical destinations with the inclusion of Bali.

“This trend suggests that quality time can come in many forms, with couples looking for a mix of adventure, culture, relaxation, and culinary delights,” Agoda stated.

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.
