Singaporeans spend $1,086 for holiday travels on average: study

Amongst popular destinations are Malaysia, Japan, and Thailand.

Singaporeans looking for an escape through leisure travel spend $1,086 on average, according to aggregator website Picodi. With only 5% saying they do not bother saving on trips, the rest applied their own strategies such as buying tickets in advance (68%) and booking their stay ahead of time (40%).

The study found that Singaporeans opt for longer getaways, with 44% of them saying their trips last around a week. Meanwhile, 30% said that they spend two weeks or more on holidays, and 26% revealed that their trips last less than a week.

In terms of frequency, 34% revealed that they go on holiday once a year, and 45% had the chance to go on vacation twice a year or more frequently. Meanwhile, 21% of respondents said they could catch vacation opportunities less than once a year.

The study found that the most popular countries for Singaporeans as option for travel destinations are Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Australia.

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.
