Travel experts are looking to July 2021 as the time where travel will be likely to happen, again. We here at Matouring can’t wait.
But there are positive signals that this may happen. From our partner Agoda, read this:
After months of travel restrictions, Agoda reveals a massive surge in hotel searches as Singapore and Hong Kong travelers take advantage of the bilateral agreement to establish an Air Travel Bubble (ATB). The digital travel platform, Agoda, revealed a 14X spike in Singapore outbound searches for Hong Kong, and 8X spike for Hong Kong visitors searching for Singapore accommodation against the seven-day prior average, following the first announcement on 15 October 2020. The trend continues following the 11 November update announcement.
“Since the Singapore and Hong Kong governments announced further details of the agreement, we have continued to see searches spike for this travel corridor, reflecting a consumer behavior pattern what we have seen in other markets as travel restrictions have eased. People are still very keen to travel and this international route between Singapore and Hong Kong gives us a glimpse of what to expect as other markets open up internationally,” says Enric Casals, Regional Director Southeast Asia and Oceania at Agoda.
