According to the Skyscanner report, 87 per cent of Singapore’s travellers plan to take the same number, if not more, trips abroad in 2024 compared with 2023.
Some 48 per cent of Singapore travellers say their choice of destination is largely determined by the cost of flight tickets.
USING TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES
Mr Mangelaars said the use of technology can help ensure that travellers have better experiences.
Skyscanner, for instance, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to figure out what travellers are looking for and help them better plan their holidays.
“They want to really figure out what the budget is, where they can go (or) how long it takes. So combining our own data with the AI tools, we can really do more unique things,” said Mr Mangelaars.
“You really can have unique questions and you can have more of a conversation with the system.”
