Singapore Tourism Board and MakeMyTrip ink year-long strategic partnership to boost travel to Singapore
Chennai: Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and MakeMyTrip, India’s leading online travel company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote Singapore as a key destination to Indian travellers. This is the first MOU between the two organisations.
Under the
MOU, STB and MakeMyTrip will embark on joint activations and campaigns to boost
inbound travel to Singapore in 2024. STB will also tap into MakeMyTrip’s market
understanding and insights to curate unique travel holiday packages targeting
consumers in India.
India is
one of the top five markets for Singapore tourism, with the city-state welcoming
over 1 million Indian visitors in 2023. Indian travellers enjoy good
connectivity to Singapore, with 17 cities in India having direct flight
connections. Furthermore, Singapore’s vibrant mix of attractions and
experiences appeal to a wide range of Indian travellers.
Ms Melissa Ow, Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism
Board said,
"We are delighted to commence this journey with MakeMyTrip under our
first-ever MOU with an online travel platform in India. Through this
partnership, we want to deepen Indian consumers’ brand affinity for Singapore
and reinforce the city’s appeal and enhanced offerings for various segments of
Indian visitors."
Mr Rajesh
Magow, Co-Founder and Group CEO, MakeMyTrip added, "Singapore was one
of the top three searched international destinations on our platform last year,
advancing from fifth place in 2022. The widespread interest for this
destination from across India underscores its appeal. With ongoing initiatives that
refresh its offerings, seamless travel access, and amenities tailored to Indian
preferences, Singapore holds significant potential to capture continued
interest of more Indian travellers. We are excited to team up with STB and bridge
the Indian travellers’ preferences with an impactful showcase of Singapore's
allure."
