S'poreans among most well-travelled in region: survey


A recent survey by MasterCard shows that Singaporeans are among the most well-travelled in the region.

Eight thousand consumers were polled across the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa.

Four hundred and forty-two were from Singapore, and of those, 78 per cent travelled internationally for leisure in the last 12 months.

Other "jetset" countries include Hong Kong and Thailand.

Most Singaporeans surveyed said they do not intend to cut back on travel in the year ahead.

Only 1 per cent do not intend to travel.

Thirty-three per cent have definitive plans to travel more in the next 12 months.

Regional destinations remain popular for Singaporeans, who have a penchant for budget airlines.

In the next year, 40 per cent of Singaporeans polled intend to go to Australia, 37 per cent want to go to Japan, while 37 per cent are set for Thailand.

Worldwide, Paris, Japan and London are the top city picks for Singaporeans.

Tokyo remains the top destination in Asia.
