#	Accommodation	Preference

Across the board, Singapore travellers definitely prefer the finer things in life, with 46% choosing to stay in four to five-star luxury hotels. 66% shop while on ‘holiday’, while a further 78% highlighted an importance on dining.

The top 10 ranked destinations included major cities in Asia, such as Bangkok, Taipei, Hong Kong and Tokyo – all of which offer the luxury hotel, shopping and dining experiences sought after by many Singapore travellers.

But it’s not all glamour for Singaporean travellers — other top destinations include scenic destinations such as Batam Island, Malacca and Bali, catering to the 72% of travellers across all age groups looking for nature and scenery.

Andrew Edwards, agoda’s Global Director for Brand and Communications, said: “Singaporeans are widely regarded as foodies and shopaholics and our research indicates that this attitude also applies when they travel. It’s perhaps surprising that domestic travel is so popular but that shows the rise of indulgent staycations here. A bit of luxury is at the heart of this trend.”
