Singapore, 5 December 2019 – TripAdvisor®, the world’s largest travel platform, has put together handpicked Trips for Singapore travellers planning that year end getaway.
TripAdvisor Trips is a planning tool that lets travellers save and organise all the great places they find on TripAdvisor to a map. Travellers can use Trips for all of their active itinerary planning including creating lists of ideas or recommendations, which can be accessed easily using the TripAdvisor app before, during or after their trip. Trips can be private and they can be shared.
To inspire Singapore travellers planning their next holiday, TripAdvisor has collaborated with local publishers and influencers to create and share their Trips to popular destinations such as Bangkok, Tokyo and Seoul. In addition, to encourage travellers to create and use Trips, TripAdvisor is also offering users a chance to win two business class air tickets worth up to S$15,000 to a desired destination, with the launch of the #TripAdvisorTrips Contest.
Travel is big in Singapore and Singapore travellers take their planning seriously. According to TripAdvisor research1, 71% of travellers in Singapore take a somewhat planned to highly planned approach for their travels, compared to 29% who are more spontaneous when it comes to making holiday decisions. Singapore travellers also spent an average of 18.5 hours planning and booking their longest trip.
“Singapore consumers love their holidays and we know people enjoy planning a trip. With our Trips planning tool, we have made the joy of planning and getting inspired easier and more fulfilling, with the ability to save favourite places and recommendations that can be shared. Whether it’s a girls’ getaway or a family holiday, travellers can use Trips to create and collaborate on a holiday itinerary or guide based on their passion points, such as ‘10 Ramen Restaurants to visit in Tokyo’ for foodies or ‘Must-visit night markets in Bangkok’ for shopping fanatics,” said Jane Lim, Vice President, Business Operations and Strategy, TripAdvisor Asia Pacific.
