SINGAPORE — Since the announcement that fully vaccinated travellers from Germany will soon be able to enter Singapore without needing to be serve a stay-home order, some travel agencies and online booking sites have seen a surge in enquiries, with one website seeing a jump of up to 70 per cent in the last 24 hours.
People who are travel-starved may have perked up at the news but this has not translated into bookings for flights or tour packages yet, the agencies told TODAY.
Ms Mae Cheah, president of tour operator Trafalgar Travel’s Asia arm, said that it has received about 50 to 60 per cent more queries from people thinking of heading to Germany compared to a week before, though bookings have not started to roll in yet.
The company is “ready to take in customers” and expects demand for travel to “come back with a vengeance” since many Singaporeans have not been holidaying overseas for the past 18 months.
Travellers from Singapore have been able to enter Germany without quarantine but it was on Thursday (Aug 19) that Singapore announced it will open its borders for fully vaccinated travellers coming from Germany from Sept 8 without the need to serve a stay-home notice.
