Singapore Surpasses Tokyo and Bangkok As the Premier Asia-Pacific Destination Choice for Business Travellers
Singapore has done itself proud by becoming the most visited destination for business travellers last year, surpassing Bangkok and Hong Kong. It also overtook its neighbours Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo to secure this top spot.
Other cities in the top 10 include Manila, Shanghai, Jakarta, Taipei, and Seoul.
Figures Surpassing Expectations
Changi Airport has always been a popular, high-passenger-volume hub. However, in 2023 alone, the airport’s passenger volume reached approximately 86% of its pre-pandemic levels, cementing Singapore’s position as a highly accessible and convenient business hub. In fact, eight of the most travelled routes by business travellers included flights either to or from Singapore.
Experts anticipate that the APAC region will continue to play a crucial role in global business travel expenditure for 2024, contributing to 42% of the total revenue.
