The Rise of Singaporeans’ Foreign Travel

These past few years, Singaporeans saw a rise in foreign travel taking an average of 4.6 flights per person in 2018. The top destinations for Singaporeans were Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines. The leading motivator to book these trips are for rest and relaxation. Many Singaporeans have fallen in love with the idea of traveling off the beaten path by going to lesser known destinations in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Mongolia. As we know, traveling to Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur is no stranger to Singaporeans. In 2019, Kuching and Padang saw a growth in Singaporean visitors which further strengthens travel in and around ASEAN countries.

In regards to Singaporeans’ mode of transportation for their trips abroad, 8.36 million traveled by air while 2.02 million traveled by sea in 2018. 34% of Singaporean travelers prefer to take trips with their friends due to group packages and promotions but traveling with family is still a popular option. When it comes to their travel spending and budget, Singaporeans are very strict and spend an average of USD 1,462.00 per trip. Many Singaporeans like to travel during long weekends and holidays, taking shorter trips to nearby destinations in the Asia-Pacific region.

Out-of-home advertising is a very effective way for brands and tourism boards to achieve higher sales conversion, especially when these travelers have the budget to spend while on their trips. Brands can advertise at Singapore Changi Airport’s Departure Halls so that Singaporean travelers have an idea of brands that they can interact with when they reach their destination abroad. Meanwhile, advertisements placed at Arrival Halls in airports abroad are the first outdoor advertisements that travelers will encounter on their trip giving your brand a better advantage when it comes to brand recall. Advertisements placed at popular tourist destinations or high-traffic local areas have great influence in travelers’ trends and behaviors. Outdoor advertising at ferries and ferry terminals should also be taken advantage of.
