Up to the stars: 6 in 10 plan trips based on astrology

Some believe planetary and lunar activities can affect their holiday outcomes.

Singaporean travellers are turning to astrology to guide their travel decisions.

According to a report by global travel marketplace Skyscanner, six in 10 25-34-year-olds want to curate their trips based on their astrological signs.

Meanwhile, 44% of travellers believe that planetary and lunar activities, such as mercury retrograde or full moons, can impact the outcome of their holidays.

Singaporeans are following the stars metaphorically and literally, with more than half looking to chase the northern lights, while 40% hope to sleep under the stars in 2025.

Apart from their astro-adventures, Singaporeans are also embracing art ventures, with nearly half of the travellers planning to visit an immersive art exhibition.

Singaporeans also showed interest in travelling for flowers, sports, games, and farms.

Meanwhile, Skyscanner also found that Singaporeans prioritise health and wellness in their travels, with 77% saying vacations are essential for mental resilience.

The platform said 53% of Singaporeans want to travel more in 2025.

Travelling costs remain a priority for them, with 83% planning to spend the same or more on flights in 2025 compared to 2024.

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.
