Some 43.8% of Singaporeans surveyed in July 2021 said they would travel in the next three months, double the 20.2% when asked a month ago.

The Finder's Travel Index survey shows that Singaporeans seem very willing to travel in the coming months. This is attributed to the high vaccination rate in Singapore, along with the government's plan to open up tourism and relax isolation for travelers who have received the Covid-19 vaccine.
According to a survey conducted in July, domestic and international tourism demand is increasing strongly in Singapore. 43.8% of Singaporeans said they plan to travel in the next 3 months, be it domestic or international. In the next 3 months, 20.5% plan to travel abroad compared to 9.6% the previous month; 33.6% plan to travel domestically compared to 12.1% in the June survey.
A Finder representative said that the spike in travel plans coincided with the launch of Singapore's "Test, Trace & Vaccinate" campaign - part of the post-pandemic recovery roadmap of Singapore.
“We have seen a significant spike in the proportion of Singaporeans interested in travel over the past month, with the number of people planning short-term travel more than doubling from June to July. It seems that this is partly due to the government's campaign for Singapore to transition to the new normal," said Mr. Angus Kidman, leader of Finder.
