Singaporeans want sustainable travel, but only 4 in 10 will pay more

Of those willing, one in five travellers will pay up to 5% more. ​

Most Singaporeans (96.4%) are drawn to sustainable travel, though only a few (41%) will pay extra for it.

Of those who are willing to pay extra, Trip.com reported that one in five travellers is willing to pay up to 5% more for sustainable travel.

Travellers from Asia Pacific, including Singaporeans, are more likely to pay a premium for sustainable travel compared to those from North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

In APAC, only three in 10 travellers opt out of paying extra, compared to 53.0%, 49.4%, and 47.3% of travellers in North America, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa, respectively.

Meanwhile, Trip.com found that Singaporeans regularly search for sustainable options when booking trips online, with around six in 10 expecting clear labels and sustainable travel tips.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
