19 October, 2020

Expedia Group senior director of Asia government and corporate affairs Ang Choo Pin said searches to Singapore on Expedia.com.hk increased by 400% following the announcement of the Singapore-Hong Kong travel bubble on 15-Oct-2020 (South China Morning Post, 16-Oct-2020). The in-principle travel bubble agreement is expected to be effective within "weeks". Mr Ang said that "this is a healthy indication that there's a strong appetite, eagerness and trust among our consumers to travel again", adding that Singapore has "consistently remained one of the top destinations among Hong Kong travellers over the years".
