Many Singaporeans will be celebrating the Chinese New Year, which falls on Jan 22 in 2023, away from home. With international borders reopened, Covid-19 curbs eased and a long weekend during the festive season, several travel agencies have reported a spike in overseas...
Mr Wong told The Straits Times: ”We noticed that more families are choosing travel as a way to bond with one another, and are more willing to spend longer time abroad to make up for the hiatus in travel during the pandemic. There are also more travellers who wish to experience unique Spring Festival vibes overseas.”
“I usually get away during CNY to enjoy the holidays, except for the past two years because of the pandemic,” she said. “It is also my first time flying post-Covid-19.”Tripadvisor spokesman Skye Ferguson said the number of Singaporeans heading abroad for CNY has increased almost seven times compared with 2022, putting the figure on a par with pre-pandemic levels. Nine in 10 travellers are planning international trips, compared with about five in 10 in 2022.
The huge demand is bolstered by the extended weekend for CNY this year, he said. Travellers are also ready to spend on travelling, having saved a fair amount over the last couple of years when travel was limited. Some agencies said the demand for CNY travel would have been even better if the festival had come at a later date.
