Singaporeans crowned Asia’s biggest leisure spenders with $3,190 average trip budget

Klook’s 2026 report shows Singapore travellers outspend regional peers on 7+ night trips.

Singaporeans are the highest long-leisure travel spenders in Asia in 2026, with an average expected spend of $3,190 (US$2,500) for trips of seven nights or more, according to Klook’s Travel Pulse 2026.

Of those surveyed, 90% plan to maintain or increase their budgets for activities, tours, and experiences, Klook said.

Over 80% of Singaporeans traveled overseas in 2025, above the global average of 60%, the report noted.

Nearly half are planning a trip within three to six months, whilst eight in 10 plan at least one short-haul trip and nine in 10 a medium- or long-haul trip over the next 12 months, Klook added.

Japan remains the top destination, with growing interest in cities beyond Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, including Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Sapporo.

Mainland China is also popular, with Singaporeans considering Chengdu, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Harbin, and Suzhou, according to the report.

50% plan to increase spending on food, dining, and activities, including outdoor adventures and theme or water parks, Klook added.

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.
