Trip.com forecasts strong F1 Singapore GP attendance with booking surge

Total booking volume for this year’s race week rose 60% compared to last year.

Trip.com expects a “healthy growth” in Formula One (F1) Singapore Grand Prix attendance numbers this year, with bookings surging during the race week from 16 to 22 September.

According to Edmund Ong, General Manager of Trip.com Singapore, Trip.com’s total booking volume for all products during this year’s F1 race week has increased by 60% compared to last year, with inbound flight bookings surging by nearly 90%.

"Perhaps unsurprisingly, we see more males making bookings for the F1 week period (47%) compared to the weeks immediately before (46%) and after (43%). However, we believe interest in F1 is increasing among women – bookings made by females for last year’s F1 week stood at 49%, compared to this year’s 53%,” Ong added.

The F1 Singapore Grand Prix, which began in 2008, takes place at the Marina Bay Circuit and is the only night race amongst all F1 Grand Prix events.

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.
